A 15-year-old boy has been charged with grievous bodily harm (GBH) after a man was reportedly assaulted in Stanhope.

Police were called to Monkton Close on Wednesday, July 20, last year and the teenager was later arrested.

Paramedics were also called to the street at 10pm after reports a man in his 20s had suffered head injures, but he was not taken to hospital.

The teenager has been released on bail and is due to appear before Folkestone Youth Court on Tuesday, February 28.
