A MAN has been charged by police investigating a stabbing incident in Co. Down.
A man in his late teens sustained a number of stab wounds to his face and head during the incident in the Dundrum Road area of Newcastle on Friday evening.
A male teenager and a man in his 20s were subsequently arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.
Detectives have now revealed that a 25-year-old man has been charged with wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm and possessing an offensive weapon in a public place.
He is due to appear before Downpatrick Magistrates’ Court on Monday, April 14.
A 16-year-old boy who was arrested has since been released on police bail to allow for further enquiries.
