A man has denied attempting to murder a woman in Brentford.

Amish Kansagra appeared at Kingston Crown Court today, where he denied charges of attempted murder, ABH (actual bodily harm) and possession of a knife.

The unemployed 28-year-old, of Brentford, was remanded in custody to return for trial on December 8.

He was charged following an attack on a 35-year-old woman in Clitherow Road, near Boston Manor Park, in June.

The woman was treated in hospital after sustaining what police described as serious injuries.

Mr Kansagra had voluntarily attended a police station on June 25 following a public appeal in the wake of the assault.
