A man has been charged with attempted murder after a stabbing in Gravesend.

Jonathon Dowling, 27, of Springhead Parkway, Northfleet is accused of one count of attempted murder, actual bodily harm and taking a vehicle without consent.

The incident happened last Monday when a woman, who Dowling knew, was assaulted before her car was stolen.

A short time later a man, also known to Dowling, was stabbed in his leg and arm.

The man was taken to hospital but his injuries were not deemed life-threatening.

Mr Dowling appeared before Medway Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, where he was remanded to appear before Woolwich Crown Court on March 20.
