A Pembroke Dock man accused of assaulting a female will go on trial next month after denying the charge.

Twenty-seven-year-old Ry Robert Williams, of Old School Court, Pennar, pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault by beating in Pembroke Dock on June 7 when he appeared at Haverfordwest magistrates court on Tuesday.

A trial date was set for Haverfordwest magistrates court on July 25.
