Man attacked three times in a matter of minutes

Ricky Lee Bree is accused of carrying out the ‘serious and sustained’ assault in and around the area of Snow Hill car park with his girlfriend in the early hours of 13 March.

He also allegedly stole the 43-year-old victim’s mobile phone – which is believed to be worth around £500 – and resisted arrest.

Mr Bree denies one count of grave and criminal assault, one count of larceny and one charge of resisting arrest. Amy Ann Binnie – the defendant’s girlfriend at the time of the assault – has pleaded guilty to grave and criminal assault.

Crown Advocate Matthew Maletroit, prosecuting, told jurors that the defendant participated in the assault on the victim, who was allegedly held down and kicked and punched ‘multiple times’ while on the ground.
