News / Henry faces assault charges
A SHETLAND man charged with assaulting four people and threatening violence by presenting a knife was released on bail after appearing from custody before Lerwick Sheriff Court, on Monday.
Scott Henry, of West Burrafirth, made no plea or declaration when he appeared before honorary sheriff Eric Peterson.
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.
