TWO men have appeared in court following an alleged assault outside a Llanelli nightclub which left a man hospitalis­ed.

The incident happened outside The Met Bar on Station Road just before 1am on Sunday morning.

A male was taken to hospital with what are believed to be serious injuries, police have said.

Yesterday, Joseph Edmund Price, of Maes Y Dderwen, Llangennch, and Stephen Kyle Price, 20, Nantwen, Llanelli, appeared at Llanelli Magistrate­s Court jointly charged with unlawfully and maliciousl­y wounding a male with intent to cause grevious bodily harm. Joseph Price, aged 24, also faced a charge of assaulting another male causing actual bodily harm and they both also faced a charge of using threatenin­g unlawful violence towards other persons. A fourth charge of possessing a knuckle duster in Haverfordw­est on July 8 was also put to Joseph Price.

No pleas were entered by both defendants and the case will now go to Swansea Crown Court on August 9. Both were granted conditiona­l bail until that hearing.
