A NEWPORT man will stand trial accused of not being in control of a dangerous dog which injured a woman.

Kirk Fleming, 31, of Alexandra Road, Pill, is charged in connection with an incident on Mendalgief Road on September 24, 2011, which left Kay Piatek with a fractured arm.

At Newport Crown Court yesterday Fleming pleaded not guilty to one charge of not being in control of a white pit bull mastiff cross male dog which was dangerously out of control in a public place.

The case was adjourned ahead of a two-day trial due to start on March 1. He was released on bail.
