The trial date for an alleged kidnapper from Acomb has been set during his first crown court appearance.
Wayne Simon Illingworth, 30, of Chapelfields Road, is charged with kidnapping and wounding a man with intent earlier this month on Lowfield Drive, Acomb.
When he appeared for a preliminary hearing at York Crown Court today, Judge Jim Spencer QC, set a trial date of March 23.
Illingworth, who did not enter a plea, will return to the crown court on December 9 when he will be asked to declare if he is guilty or not guilty.
