A Glaswegian man accused of assaulting an elderly couple on a luxury cruise liner made his first appearance at Teesside Crown Court today.
Graeme Finlay is accused of assaulting the elderly couple while travelling aboard the Thomson Celebration off the coast of Lanzarote.
The alleged attacks left the woman with a fractured spine and shoulder injury, her husband with serious injuries to his face.
Finlay is accused of assaulting the Teesside couple, inflicting grievous bodily harm, on January 29.
The 52-year-old appeared for a short preliminary hearing this morning.
He has not yet entered pleas to the charges against him.
Robert Mochrie, defending, said the allegations were denied.
Judge Howard Crowson bailed British Gas worker Finlay, of Meadowside Quay, Glasgow, until a plea hearing on February 4 next year.
He also asked the court to look for a date for a trial, estimated to last two days.
