A man has been charged with attempted robbery and threatening someone with a knife.

Dominic Stockdale, of Ordnance Terrace, Chatham, allegedly entered a shop in Beatty Avenue, just before 11pm on Wednesday, August 22, and demanded money.

The 47-year-old reportedly threatened a member of staff with a knife.

However, no money was exchanged and the suspect left the scene on foot.

He will appear before Medway Magistrates' Court today.
