Police have charged a man with attempted murder following a stabbing in Brighton.
Emergency services were called to Ship Street shortly before 2am on Thursday, June 22, to reports of a man in his 20s having suffered serious injuries in a suspected stabbing.
He was taken to hospital for treatment while an investigation was launched.
Eighteen-year-old Harvey Dannsah-Appiah, of Monkswell Green in Bournemouth, was identified as a suspect and wanted for arrest.
He was spotted by officers in Worthing on Monday (10 July) and arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and possession of a knife in a public place.
He was subsequently charged with both offences and remanded in custody to appear at Brighton Magistrates’ Court today (11 July).
Detective Inspector Neil Phillips said: “Any form of violence will not be tolerated in Brighton and Hove and this incident has been treated with the seriousness it deserves.
