AN OAKES man has appeared in court accused of assaulting his ex in a takeaway.

Huddersfield magistrates were told that the incident involved Mark Mills, of Tanyard Road, and his ex Danielle Simpson, with whom he has a three-year-old child.

Linda Fowler, prosecuting, said that the pair bumped into each other in a bar on a night out. There was an altercation and Mills left, but they saw one another later in a takeaway.

“He grabbed hold of her and threw her across the floor.”

Mills, 28, denied common assault. He claimed that he pushed her out of the way to stop her from getting hurt by another male.

He was remanded in custody yesterday and will next appear before the court on January 26.
