A boy has been charged with stabbing another teenager in Cheriton.

The 17-year-old, from Folkestone and who cannot be named, is accused of possessing a knife and wounding with intent.

He is expected before magistrates today after the incident that left an 18-year-old man with injuries to his back and leg on Saturday night.

Police were called to a disturbance in the High Street at about 8.35pm.

The victim, also from Folkestone, was taken to King's College Hospital in London and was described as being in a stable condition.
