A Blackburn man will stand trial next year after denying an offence of dangerous driving.

Uday Akram, 32, also entered not guilty pleas to charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and assaulting an emergency worker.

Akram, of Troy Street, entered the pleas at Preston Crown Court on Wednesday (September 25).

The alleged offending took place in August on streets around Blackburn.

He will face a trial at the same court starting on October 14, 2025.

A pre-trial review was set for August 19 next year.

He was released on bail.
