THE son of Roxy Music star Bryan Ferry has appeared in court to answer charges of robbery and assault.

Pro-hunting campaigner Otis Ferry, 25, is alleged to have robbed a woman of a Samsung video camera and assaulted another woman while hunting in Gloucestershire with the Heythrop Hunt in November last year.

Ferry, of Eaton Mascott, Shropshire, spoke only to confirm his name and did not enter pleas at Gloucester Crown Court today.

He was released on unconditional bail.

A plea hearing has been fixed for July 25 and a trial date provisionally set for September 15.
