Man charged following serious assault in Wellingborough

A 38-year-old Wellingborough man has had his case committed to Northampton Crown Court after being charged in connection with a serious assault in December.

Sean Egan, of no fixed address, appeared before Northampton Magistrates’ Court yesterday (Wednesday, February 26) charged with one count of section 18 wounding with intent and one count of threatening a person with a knife blade/sharp pointed article in a public place.

This follows an incident in the early hours of December 20, in pebble Lane, Wellingborough, when a man in his 50s sustained a single stab wound to the side of his abdomen during an altercation.

Egan was remanded into custody until Wednesday, April 9, when he is due to appear at the crown court.
