Ex-River City and Angel's Share star to stand trial on social media fight charge

A Glasgow actor will stand trial next month accused of challenging a man to a fight on social media.

It's claimed Paul Brannigan, 35, behaved in a threatening or abusive manner from a property in Glasgow's Barrowfield on July 8, 2020.

Court papers state former River City and Angels' Share star contacted William Hendry "via social media and challenged him to a fight."

Brannigan is also alleged to have not complied with a court order in relation to causing alarm and distress to witnesses.

It is alleged that Brannigan was told not to contact William and Margaret Hendry.

Brannigan is alleged to have contacted William without a reasonable excuse.

The actor is said to have been due to appear at court on an undertaking at the time.

He pled not guilty today at Glasgow Sheriff Court to the two charges.

A trial has been set for February.

Brannigan, also of Barrowfield, - who did not appear at court - remains on bail meantime.
