A MAN has appeared in court accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend at her home.

Steven Langford, 26, was before Huddersfield magistrates yesterday to face charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and criminal damage on October 7.

During the attack the woman is alleged to have been pushed on to a broken picture frame.

She was also allegedly punched and kicked to the head.

Langford, of Sheepridge, will have his case heard in the crown court.

Magistrates agreed to remand him in custody.

He will next appear before the same court on November 3 via a prison video link.
