He is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court today (24 July).

Detective Constable Abi Page, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a very serious assault and I hope our response in locating, arresting and charging this suspect provides reassurance to the victim and the wider community.

“The victim required surgery in hospital and, as so often with any knife crime, the consequences could have been even worse.

“Engaging with people so they can be educated about the dangers and consequences of carrying a knife is central to our ongoing work to try and prevent people coming to harm from weapon-enabled crime.”
