Three people have been remanded in custody following a violent assault in Chichester that left a teenager seriously injured.
The incident took place at around 9.30pm on Wednesday, 19 June, in a park near Swanfield Community Centre, where a group was reportedly attacked with weapons. A 19-year-old man sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital. He has since been discharged.
Two men and a teenage boy—who cannot be named for legal reasons—were arrested at the scene by responding officers. All three have now been charged and remanded in custody to appear at Portsmouth Crown Court next month.
District Commander William Keating-Jones said:
“Our officers responded quickly to a report of a serious assault in Chichester. Searches were completed and arrests were made, which has resulted in weapons being seized and removed from our streets.”
Police continue to investigate and are appealing for anyone with witness information, CCTV or mobile phone footage from the area around the time of the incident to come forward.
