A man has appeared at Oxford Crown Court charged with grievous bodily harm with intent relating to an incident in which a man was allegedly stabbed with a sharp instrument on Friday night.

A 20-year-old man underwent emergency surgery at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, over the weekend after an incident outside the Bowlplex venue near the Kassam Stadium in Greater Leys.

Iain Milligan, 18, of Thomson Terrace, Littlemore, Oxford, did not enter a plea and was bailed to an address in Glasgow and ordered to re-appear at Oxford Crown Court on October 27.
