The owner of Hi Lo, a well known bar and restaurant on Cowley Road, appeared at Oxford Crown Court this week, charged with attacking a customer.
He is being charged with ‘wounding with intent’, an alternative charge of unlawful wounding, and having a hacksaw as an offensive weapon.
The charges relate to an incident on October 3 last year, where the proprietor, Hugh Anderson, a 67 year old, allegedly attacked customer Sean Tizard.
Anderson has denied all three charges and was bailed to stand trial on September 5.
The Jamaican Eating House celebrated its 29th anniversary in December 2010, and has had such customers as Kylie Minogue.
The police have declined to comment further on the case, as court proceedings are now underway.
