A man has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder after a serious assault outside a Braintree bar last month.
Police were called to the Lounge Bar on the Market Place at around 11:30pm on September 9, finding a man seriously injured.
He has since been discharged from hospital.
Geoffrey Ryan, 53 of Kiln Way, Braintree was subsequently charged with attempted murder, possession of an offensive weapon and racially aggravated public order.
He appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court yesterday to deny the charges.
He'll face a trial at the same court in February.
