The 26-year-old also faces GBH with intent against the woman and four driving offences from the same incident - dangerous driving, driving while unfit through drink, driving while banned and without insurance.

It stems from an incident outside The Cock Beck pub on Pendas Way on Friday, December 6.

He made a brief appearance at Leeds Magistrates’ Court earlier this week. He did not enter any pleas and the case was moved up to Leeds Crown Court.

He will appear again on January 16 for a plea and trial preparation hearing.
