SAINTS star Lee Barnard has been charged with ABH.

It comes after the 26-year-old once again answered bail today, following an incident at the White House pub in Southampton City Centre in October last year.

The incident left Barnard with injuries to his right hand.

He was arrested and then taken to hospital for treatment. As well as the charge of actual bodily harm for Barnard, of Ocean Village, police have also charged two other men.

They are Liam Shelton, 26 from Shakespeare Avenue, Billericay, Essex who has been charged with assault by battery and David Jones, 31, from Rowan Gardens, Hedge End, is charged with obstructing a police officer and threatening behaviour.

A fourth man, aged 25-years and also from Billericay, has been released with no further action.

The three men charged have been bailed until Wednesday, February 2, when they are due to appear before Southampton Magistrates Court.

Southampton FC were unavailable for comment.
