Charges have been authorised following a knife incident in Silwood Street, Brighton.
On Saturday, 27 June at around 6pm, reports to police stated that two local men had been injured after being approached by a man who was carrying a knife.
One of the victims, aged 29, sustained a slash injury to his face, and a second man was also assaulted. Both attended hospital for treatment and have since been discharged.
During the incident, the man was also reported to have attempted to take a pedestrian's dog. Members of the public intervened, preventing him from doing so, and detained him until police arrived a short time later.
33-year-old Toby Sousa, of no fixed address, was arrested at the scene, and has since been charged with two counts of attempted grievous bodily harm, threatening a person with a blade, and with affray.
Criminal Investigations Detective Sergeant, Harry Judge, said: "Following a series of fast-paced enquiries, charges have now been authorised in this case, and Toby Sousa is due to appear at Brighton Magistrates' Court on Monday, 29 June.
"This incident caused significant alarm to members of the public, and we would like to thank everyone who assisted officers on the day and has since supported the wider investigation. Their assistance has been invaluable.
"Officers will continue to maintain a visible presence in the area, carrying out reassurance patrols to provide confidence to the local community."
