The 23 year old was arrested in the west side village of Aith in the early hours of Monday after allegedly knocking a man to the ground leaving him unconscious at the village hall.

He accused of then assaulting three people at a house in the village and also threatening violence by presenting a knife at them.

Henry was also charged with being in possession of a kitchen knife in a public place, in Aith.

The case has been continued until 16 June. Henry was told not to contact or approach any of the four complainers.
