A doctor from Gerrards Cross has appeared in court accused of a string of sexual assaults against a member of staff at a busy London hospital.

Dr Kabir Sandhu, 29, allegedly repeatedly grabbed the complainant's breasts and bottom while working at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, in central London, on February 2, 2019.

He is further accused of grabbing her around the throat with "some pressure" and kissing her, and also of rubbing his crotch against her, Westminster Magistrates' Court heard on Monday.

The complainant also alleges that at one point Sandhu, of Gerrards Cross, put his hand under her clothes and into her bra, prosecutor Jonathan Bryan said.

Sandhu, who is currently working as GP at a practice in West Hampstead, denied six counts of sexual assault.

The first count relates to an alleged assault in December 2018.

Judge Nina Tempia sent the case to Southwark Crown Court on October 5 for a plea and case management hearing.

Sandhu was granted bail on the condition he does not contact the complainant.
