A man has appeared in court accused of committing a string of assaults on people after they sneezed.
Stephen Jackson,
49, from Carlisle, entered not guilty pleas at Carlisle magistrates
court to allegations he assaulted 11 women, one man and a child between
October 2014 and March this year.
He denies assault by beating against Jean Thompson, Moureen Taylor, Janet English, Elizabeth Whyte-Caine, Christopher Dale, Thelma Stewart, Muriel Lumley, Cynthia Nicholson, Janice Bell, Carolyn Millican, Mira Evans and Ann Hewetson.
Jackson also pleaded not guilty to an offense of common assault against a young girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons. The offenses were said to have been committed in Carlisle, with several understood to involve mostly elderly people being slapped on the head. The defendant faces a two-day trial at the same court on a date to be fixed. He was granted unconditional bail.
