Former TV star John Alford has denied attacking two police officers after an incident in which he damaged a bin lorry.
The ex-Grange Hill and London’s Burning actor, 46, of Holloway, north London, gave his name as John James Walker Shannon as he appeared in the dock at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court, telling the hearing that Alford was a stage name.
He pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault on a police officer and guilty to a charge of criminal damage to a refuse collection vehicle belonging to Camden Council.
