A woman giving evidence in the Russell Brand trial has told a court that the comedian appeared to be a "wild-eyed maniac" as he attempted to drag her into a toilet, according to Sky News. The allegation was made during the third day of proceedings, which Sky News and other outlets covered from court.

The same accuser described being left "bewildered and confused" by the alleged assault, the BBC reported. Sky News also noted that new photographs were released as the hearing continued.

Separately, a former flatmate of Brand testified that he was "egotistical" and preoccupied with sex, ITVX reported. The Guardian carried the account of the toilet allegation, while The Times published a running account of the day's evidence.

The reports come from live coverage of the trial, and the details above reflect what each outlet told its readers. Brand has not been convicted of any offence at this stage of the proceedings.

Coverage of the trial is expected to continue, with further witnesses and evidence likely to be presented in the coming days.
