Three men in court over attack on teen

John Gilliver (32), of Beech Crescent, Mexborough, appeared at Doncaster Magistrates’ Court yesterday (23) charged with assault and violent disorder.

He appeared alongside Liam McGuire (29), of Main Street, Rotherham, who was charged with assault and violent disorder, and Robert Sutherland (28), of Manor Court, Denaby, who is accused of assault, violent disorder and dangerous driving.

None of the men entered any pleas to the charges.

All three have been remanded in custody and will appear at Sheffield Crown Court on January 25.

The three men are accused of assaulting a 19-year-old man on Burcroft Hill, Conisbrough, at around 5.15pm on Friday, December 11.

A police spokeswoman said two vehicles had been involved in a collision on Burcroft Hill, which also caused damage to a boundary wall and another vehicle.

“It is understood that a 19-year-old man, the driver of one of the vehicles involved in the collision, was then assaulted," said the spokeswoman.
