Cresswell, of West Street, Fishguard, claims he was using self-defence in an altercation reported to have taken place close to Goodwick Community Primary School.

Cresswell, 21, claims he was a passenger in a vehicle which he stepped out of to intervene in an altercation involving his friend.

Cresswell then claims he was attacked by the complainant.

At the time, police said a 21-year-old was alleged to have assaulted a 39-year-old man following a confrontation surrounding possible dangerous driving.

It is understood the incident took place in Stop and Call at 3.10pm on Tuesday, April 5, just as parents were leaving the school with their children.

Cresswell will stand trial at Haverfordwest Magistrates on July 20.

He was released on unconditional bail.
