Man remanded over alleged attack on parents

A Port Erin company director has been remanded in custody as he faces charges of attacking his elderly parents in their home.

54 year old Antony John Ellis of Baymount appeared through a live video link from the prison before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse.

He hasn't yet entered pleas to two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm on May 1.

A previous hearing was told he'd punched his 82 year old father in an unprovoked attack before pushing his 81 year old mother to the ground, fracturing her pelvis.

His advocate didn't make an application for bail and Mr Ellis was remanded until his next court appearance on July 9.
