AN Ulverston man is due to appear in court charged with assault and causing criminal damage.

Lorcan Muncaster, of Elleriggs Brow, is accused of assaulting Lauren Brown in Barrow on August 18.

The 19-year-old has also been charged with smashing the rear window of a car belonging to the same victim and damaging her bathroom door.

Muncaster is due to appear at South Cumbria Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

Bail conditions prevent Muncaster from contacting the alleged victim or visiting her home address.
