Book of evidence due in Stokes assault case

Republic of Ireland and Celtic striker Anthony Stokes, who is charged with attacking and injuring a man in a Dublin nightclub, is to be served with a book of evidence in two weeks.

The striker has been accused of assaulting Ballyfermot Elvis impersonator Anthony Bradley, 42, during an alleged row about a spilled drink at Buck Whaley’s on Leeson St, on June 8 last year.

At Dublin District Court yesterday, Michael Coghlan remanded the player, in his absence, on continuing bail to appear in two weeks.
