A MAN has appeared in court charged over a knife attack in a North Yorkshire town.
A 27-year-old local man was stabbed twice in the leg near the taxi rank in Station Parade, Harrogate, just after 6pm on Friday.
North Yorkshire Police said an officer was patrolling nearby and chased a 21-year-old Harrogate man from the scene on foot, before seizing a knife from him, and arresting him.
The victim was taken to Harrogate District Hospital for treatment, but his injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
The 21-year-old was taken into custody, and charged on Saturday with possession of bladed weapon and wounding with intent.
He appeared before Harrogate Magistrates’ Court yesterday and remanded in custody to appear before York Crown Court on Monday, August 4.
