The charges relate to an incident in St Helen’s Street in the early hours of March 8.

Police said the men were leaving the Waterlily pub.
A man in his 40s suffered life-threatening injuries. A second man sustained serious injuries and a third suffered minor injuries.
A provisional trial date has been set for September 1.
Friday’s hearing was adjourned until June 16 due to issues with video conferencing technology.
