Man charged with Gateshead assault
It follows an incident in Low Fell on Friday evening.
A man has been arrested and charged with assault following a disturbance in Gateshead on Friday (August 30).
Just after 10.15pm on Friday (August 30), police received a report of a disturbance in the Saltwell Road South area of Low Fell.
Officers attended, where a man was found to have sustained serious injuries consistent with having been assaulted. He currently remains in hospital for treatment.
A 35-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault.
He 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.”
