AN ACCUSED Hereford man has been found not guilty after denying one charge.

James Reidy appeared before magistrates in Kidderminster in June after entering a not guilty plea to one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm at an earlier hearing.

The court heard from prosecutor Mr Rahman that the 25-year-old had been accused of assaulting a person, causing them actual bodily harm, in an incident in Hereford on January 30.

Reidy, of Carless Close, Hereford, who was represented at the hearing by defence solicitor Marilena Di Vitantonio, was found not guilty of the offence by magistrates and the case against him was dismissed.
