A man accused of mugging a 92-year-old woman will stand trial in June.

Andrew Bowcott, 38, of no fixed address, appeared at Hove Crown Court yesterday charged with robbing Millie Kershaw in May last year.

Mrs Kershaw was left with a broken hip and wrist when her bag was snatched in Hamilton Road, Brighton.

The trial, which will last two to three days, is expected to begin on Monday, June 23.
