A man has denied launching a racist assault and attacking two officers of the law.
Raymond Rigby, 34, of Inglewhite, Skelmersdale, stood before Wigan and Leigh justices to enter not guilty pleas to the racially aggravated assault by beating of Mehdi Zaki and the assaults of PC Georgina Newcombe and PCSO Karl Melling during the course of their duties on June 6 in Wigan.
Rigby faces an alternative charge of assaulting Mr Zaki without there being a racially aggravating factor.
