A police officer has pleaded not guilty to assaulting a man during an arrest.

PC Richard Williams, 42, appeared at Caernarfon Crown Court on Monday, facing two charges relating to the arrest of Steven Clarke in Porthmadog, Gwynedd, in May 2023.

PC Williams, who has been suspended by North Wales Police, denied a charge of intentional strangulation and another of assault causing actual bodily harm.

He is due to stand trial in Caernarfon from 16 September.
