A 16-year-old juvenile from Brent was charged by Surrey Police with attempted GBH (grievous bodily harm) on January 12 (2019) in relation to an attack at a shop in Ash last December.

The boy, who cannot be named due to legal reasons, was remanded in custody and will appear at Staines Magistrate Court tomorrow (January 14).

In a statement, a spokesperson for Surrey Police said: “On Sunday, 23 December 2018 we were called to the One Stop [shop] on Ash Street at 3.10pm after a report that a man was attacked multiple times with a weapon by two males. The males then left the scene in a car, the car was pursued by police and the driver and two passengers were detained.

“The victim, a man in his 20’s, received serious injuries and was treated in hospital.”

An 18-year-old man from Kent and an 18-year-old woman from Hampshire were also arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder respectively on the day on the incident and were released under police investigation.
