The case was dropped at Maidstone Crown Court

by Keith Hunt

A man accused of a stabbing in Sheerness High Street has been cleared of wounding with intent and possessing an offensive weapon after the prosecution dropped the case.

No evidence was offered against Lithuanian national Gediminas Medisauakas today and Judge Philip Statman entered not guilty verdicts. No explanation was given.

Mr Medisauakas, 26, was alleged to have attacked Raimundas Baliukyas, also from Lithuania.

Mr Baliukyas was taken to Medway Maritime Hospital with a wound to his shoulder after an incident near The Goat pub on September 22 last year.

Mr Medisauskas, of Alma Road, Sheerness, had not entered pleas to the charges.
