A man charged with the attempted murder of a 64-year-old woman in Matthews Way, Wootton, near Abingdon, has been ordered to be detained at Littlemore Hospital, Oxford.

The case of David Newport, 48, of no fixed address, went before a judge at Oxford Crown Court yesterday for a preliminary hearing.

The defendant was not required to attend.

Newport was bailed to the hospital while medical reports are prepared to determine whether he is fit to enter a plea to the charge.
