Christopher Jenkins, 36, of Towngate in Halifax was due to appear before Bradford Magistrates Court on Tuesday accused of dangerous driving.

A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Police were called to the 1904 at Dean Clough pub at Lee Bridge in June last year after a van was driven into a group of people outside.

A large number of people were at the pub following the funeral of former Boothtown Terriers rugby player Dale Brown.
