Man charged after 'clearly serious incident' in Low Fell
Officers were called out to the incident late on Friday night (30 Aug)
A man's been arrested and charged on suspicion of assault after what police have described as a 'disturbance' in Gateshead on Friday (August 30).
Police have called It a 'clearly a serious incident' - adding they hope the charge shows they'll do 'everything in their power' to bring those responsible to justice.
Officers attended a road in Low Fell at about 10.15pm - when a man was found to have sustained serious injuries consistent with having been assaulted.
He currently remains in hospital for treatment.
We understand the 35-year-old man has since been charged and will remain in custody until his first court appearance in front of magistrates in South Tyneside tomorrow morning (Monday).
Two other men arrested in connection with the incident will face no further action.
Chief Superintendent Joanne Park-Simmons said: “This was clearly a serious incident, and a male will now appear before the courts in relation to it.
“I hope this shows our communities that under no circumstances will we tolerate violence in our communities – and we will do everything in our power to locate those responsible and bring them to justice.
“In the meantime, I’d ask everyone to respect the live legal proceedings and avoid any speculation or commentary both on social media and out in the community.”
