A 19-year-old man is to appear in court this following following multiple stabbing incidents in Lurgan earlier this week.

Detectives have charged the 19-year-old over two violent incidents on Monday evening.

The teenager is to appear at Craigavon Magistrates’ Court via videolink this morning (Wednesday) on three charges of attempted murder and one charge of possession of an offensive weapon with intent to commit an indictable offence.

As is usual procedure all charges will be reviewed by a Public Prosecution Service.

Both men were taken to hospital for treatment to their injuries.”
