A MAN has appeared in court accused of assaulting his father.

Andrew Hackin, 39, denied the charge when he appeared before Kirklees magistrates.

He did admit further offences of failing to surrender to court and obstructing a PC in the execution of his duty.

Hackin, of Birkby Road, was granted conditional bail by the Huddersfield bench.

The conditions are that he does not contact his father Raymond Hackin nor go within 100 metres of his address at Weymouth Avenue in Oakes.

He will next appear before the court for trial on July 18.
