Vincent Spiteri, 28 of Vittoriosa, today pleaded not guilty in court to having seriously injured Francesco Caruana in a fight late yesterday. He also denied violently resisting two policemen, assaulting three officers, slightly injuring another man and being drunk.
The case happened yesterday.
The defence said the accused was not the one who had started the fight, while the prosecution said that while resisting the police, he also challenged the officers to a fight.
Mr Spiteri was granted bail against a personal guarantee of €3000 and ordered not to go to Birzebbuga.
