Man charged following serious assault in Kettering

A man has appeared before Northampton Magistrates’ Court today (Thursday, November 9) after being charged in connection with a serious assault which occurred in Silver Street, Kettering.

Sean Michael McCulloch, of no fixed address, was charged with three offences - section 18 wounding with intent, possession of a knife blade/sharp pointed article in a public place, and assault by beating of an emergency worker.

This follows an incident shortly before midnight on Tuesday, November 7, when a 38-year-old man sustained a single stab wound to his abdomen. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

McCulloch was remanded in custody until Thursday, December 21, when he is due to appear at Northampton Crown Court.

Tackling serious violence is a Matter of Priority for Northamptonshire Police and the Force is committed to working with partners and our many communities as part of Op Sceptre to educate, engage and listen to their concerns about knife crime, while at the same time taking robust action against those people who commit crimes.
