Alleged CBD puncher pleads not guilty

A man who allegedly punched a woman during a late night argument in Sydney's Martin Place has pleaded not guilty.

Soane Viani Alamoti, 20, was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm on July 9 after the 24-year-old woman was knocked to the ground and taken to hospital for treatment.

Registrar Paul West told the Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday that Alamoti would remain on bail until the case returns to court on September 15.
