‘Avon and Somerset Police’ have recently issued a statement regarding a violent incident which took place in Midsomer Norton in the early hours of 9th May.
The statement is as follows:
‘We have charged a man in connection with a serious assault in Midsomer Norton in the early hours of Saturday morning (9 May).
The 21-year-old, from Odd Down, Bath, has been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent, battery, affray, possession of a bladed article and dangerous driving and was remanded in custody to appear at Bristol Magistrates’ court today (Tuesday 12 May).
A child, in his mid-teens, has been arrested on suspicion of affray and wounding with intent and has been released on conditional bail while investigations continue.
Officers were called to the scene of an incident in High Street, Midsomer Norton, at around 2.40am.
A man, in his early-twenties, suffered a stab wound which was not considered to be life-changing or life-threatening, and he remains in hospital in a stable condition.
He has understandably been left distressed by the incident, and we are maintaining contact with him and will offer him access to any support services he feels he may benefit from.
Initial witness statements have been carried out, CCTV and forensic enquiries have been conducted, and we will maintain a heightened police presence in the area over coming days.
