Three men are to be tried at Bradford Crown Court charged with kidnapping a woman while armed with an imitation handgun.
Ladislav Balog, 21, of Lidget Place, Lidget Green, Bradford; Mudasser Yaseen, 37, of Finch Road, Birmingham; and Waqaas Hussain, 34, of Alleyne Road, Birmingham, appeared together on a video link to Leeds Prison on Friday to deny all the offences alleged against them.
They pleaded not guilty to kidnapping the woman in Wellington Street, Laisterdyke, Bradford, on February 18, and having with them a black imitation firearm with intent to commit the offence.
The men further denied possession of an offensive weapon, a hammer. Balog alone pleaded not guilty to having a knife in a public place on the same day. Their six-day trial was fixed to begin on January 18 next year.
