‘Hardy Bucks’ actor denies assault charges

Hardy Bucks actor Martin Maloney has pleaded not guilty to attacking two bouncers following a row about a queue while he was making an appearance at a popular Dublin pub.

The 30-year-old, from Bollingbrook Drive, Swinford, Co Mayo, made his third appearance at Dublin District Court yesterday to face three assault charges and had one struck out.

He is to contest the remaining, more serious assault allegations and was remanded on continuing bail — a date for his non-jury district court trial has yet to be fixed.
