Monday, 22 February 2016 00:00

The trial of a Douglas man who's accused of wounding a police officer during an armed stand-off has been put on hold.

24-year-old Christopher Seed was due to stand trial today - but a request to postpone proceedings was agreed last week.

The charge, and one of ABH, relate to an alleged incident on January 16th at his home on Taubman Terrace in Douglas.

Deemster Montgomerie has adjourned the matter until April 18th when it's expected further progress will be made.

Seed remains remanded at the Isle of Man Prison.
