Mansfield stabbing suspect charged with attempted murder
A suspect in a Mansfield stabbing has been charged with attempted murder and remanded in custody.
A man sustained a single stab wound and was left with life-threatening injuries following an assault in Littleworth at 9.28pm on July 13.
Police arrested suspect Radoslaw Gan around two hours later on the same night and Gan, of Broxtowe Drive, Mansfield, has now been charged with attempted murder, possessing a knife in public and possessing cannabis.
After being charged, 34-year-old Gan attended Nottingham Magistrates' Court on July 15 where he was remanded in custody.
He is next due to appear before Nottingham Crown Court on August 12.
Det Insp James Oakton, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "As we announce news of these charges, our thoughts remain with the victim receiving treatment in hospital.
"He sustained serious injuries in this incident that, put simply, could've led to him losing his life, but for the actions of those who helped him that night.
"On that note, the members of the public, police officers and paramedics who were in attendance and came to this man's aid all deserve enormous credit.
"As our investigation into this incident continues, I would also like to thank the investigation team, who have worked around the clock to try and establish what happened and ultimately secure these charges."
