A 23-year-old man from Gzira was accused today of having broken the arm of his former girlfriend during an argument in Paceville on Sunday night.

Mauro Persiano and his girlfriend Kelly Fenech are alleged to have argued outside a club called Gringos. 

Police Inspector Sarah Magri said the accused could not accept the fact that she had broken up with him, and this was the first time that he had seen her.

Mr Persiano pleaded not guilty to seriously injuring Ms Fenech, swearing and breaching the peace.

He was granted bail against a deposit of €500 and a personal guarantee of €2,500.
