Man charged and due in court after Alnwick stabbing incident

John Lundy, 41, from Windsor Gardens, Alnwick, is accused of wounding with intent to commit grievous bodily harm following an incident in the town on Tuesday evening.

Emergency services, which included an air ambulance, rushed to Lion Bridge, near Alnwick Castle, just before 7pm on June 16 after reports that a man had been attacked.

The injured man, whose identity has still to be revealed, was taken by road ambulance to Newcastle’s Royal Victoria Infirmary.

Northumbria Police later said the 48-year-old man suffered “serious but not life threatening injuries consistent with a stabbing”, and described his condition as stable.

They also described the case as an “isolated incident” with officers visiting the area on Wednesday to reassure the community while continuing their inquiries.

Lundy is due to appear before North Tyneside Magistrates’ Court on Thursday.
