A man has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm following a stabbing in an alleyway in Chichester.

Sussex Police were called to an alleyway behind Exton Road at about 13:50 BST on 22 July.

A 29-year-old man found by officers remains in hospital with serious injuries sustained during the incident, the force said.

Cobi Armah-White, 20, of Wayland Gardens, Chichester, has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent, and with possession of a bladed article in a public place.

He appeared before Crawley Magistrates' Court on Monday, where he was remanded in custody.
