A man has been charged over a stabbing in a town centre.

A man in his 20s was stabbed in the chest at Highgate, Kendal, in Cumbria, on Sunday evening.

Cumbria Police said he had "serious but non-life-threatening" injuries and remained in hospital.

A 22-year-old was charged with grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of a bladed article, and appeared before Barrow Magistrates' Court.

He was remanded to appear at Carlisle Crown Court on 6 December.
