Detectives investigating a serious assault and an attempted robbery have placed a suspect before the courts.
The assault victim was walking home from a pub when he was attacked by a man he knew in Maun View, Mansfield, on 13 May at 8.50pm.
He was struck to the back of the head and kicked, resulting in a broken rib, punctured lung and the loss of a number of teeth.
The attempted robbery took place in Broxtowe Drive, Mansfield, in the early hours of 19 May when a different victim was threatened with violence.
This victim also reported months of harassment from a man.
Gary Chadwick, aged 44, of Broxtowe Drive, Mansfield, has been charged with committing grievous bodily harm with intent, attempted robbery and harassment.
He appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday (21 May) and was remanded in custody until his next appearance at Nottingham Crown Court on 18 June 2025.
Detective Sergeant Rachel Mayfield, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“The assault victim suffered significant injuries and officers have worked hard on the investigation.
“Violence of this nature will always be met with a robust and determined response from the force.”
