A teenager has been charged and remanded in custody in connection with a stabbing in Horsham town centre.

Police were called to the incident in East Street at 1.37am on Saturday 2 October, after a 21-year-old local man suffered stab wounds to the body.

He was taken to hospital for treatment; his injuries are not believed to be life threatening.

A 19-year-old man from Horsham was arrested on suspicion of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, theft by finding, possession of a Class A drug and possession of a Class B drug. He has been released on conditional bail until 2 November, pending further enquiries.

Following enquiries, police located a fourth suspect, who was arrested in London with the assistance of the Metropolitan Police.

He has been remanded in custody and is next scheduled to appear before Lewes Crown Court on 5 November.

The investigation continues, and anyone with any information is urged to report it online or call 101, quoting Operation Deputy.
