Yeovil assault
case adjourned for interpreter to be present
A
Polish man accused of assaulting a male during an incident at Yeovil has had
his case adjourned for an interpreter to be present.
Krsyszytof
Bortnowski, 21, of Matthews Road, Yeovil, appeared in the dock before Somerset
Magistrates at Yeovil.
He
was charged with assaulting Liam Cousins by beating him on August 29 but did
not enter a plea.
Prosecutor
Emma Lenanton said that the alleged offence involved the defendant who was said
to have kicked another male who was lying on the floor when police arrived at
the scene.
Defending
solicitor Greg Peters said that his client did not have sufficient command of
the English language to take part in a court hearing so required the services
of an interpreter.
The
magistrates agreed to his application for an adjournment and ordered the
defendant to return to the court on October 2 when he will be expected to enter
his plea.
Until
then Bortnowski was released on unconditional bail.
