TWO men have denied attacking a pensioner in a pub with a hammer.

Julian Pitts, 35, of no fixed address, and Adam O'Connor, 28, of Banbury Road, Kidlington, appeared at Oxford Crown Court to both deny affray and possession of an offensive weapon.

The charges relate to an attack on a man in his 60s at The Red Lion pub, Kidlington, on April 27.

O’Connor was released on bail and Pitts was remanded in custody ahead of a trial on January 18.
