A police officer in West Yorkshire has denied assaulting a member of the public while on duty.

At Bradford Magistrates' Court, Denis Kadric, 32, of Wolley Avenue in New Farnley, Leeds, pleaded not guilty to a charge of causing actual bodily harm.

Mr Kadric was released on bail, with a trial set to begin on 27 August at Bradford Crown Court.
