He sustained a head injury and was taken to hospital, before being discharged later.

A 37-year-old man, of no fixed address, has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and is due to appear before magistrates later.

A 33-year-old man arrested following the stabbing had been released with no further action, police added.
