A WARRANT was issued at Worcester Crown Court for the arrest of a Kidderm-inster man who failed to attend his trial on a wounding charge.

Ian Newman, 24, of Courtney flats, St Cecilia's Close, is jointly charged with Thomas Doyle, 29, of Chester Road North, Kidd-erminster, with inflicting grievous bodily harm on Alan Jones.

Doyle, who attended court, was bailed to appear when a new hearing date is fixed.
