Dockers defender pleads not guilty to assault

Fremantle defender Michael Johnson has pleaded not guilty to assault in court on Monday morning.

The assault charges stem from an incident in November last year in a kebab shop.

Johnson is alleged to have assaulted a customer in the shop following a verbal altercation with the man.

The alleged victim provided Police with a video of Johnson, who has his pants down in a kebab shop in Leederville, before the man was struck by Johnson in a resulting argument.

A hearing has been set for October 13.

Johnson, whose bail was renewed, declined to comment outside court.
