A Frenchman
has been charged with three offences after a police officer
was stabbed at the Port of Dover.
It happened at 1.50pm on Tuesday,

threatening behaviour involving two passengers on board the P&O
Ferries’ ship Pride of Calais at the Eastern Docks.
While officers investigated the
incident an officer suffered a knife wound to his thigh and was
taken to the William Harvey Hospital at Ashford.
He was later released after
treatment.

has no fixed address in the UK, was arrested and
has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm to PC
Andrew Atkinson with intent, assaulting P&O Ferries' worker
Nigel Davies causing actual bodily harm, and possessing a pointed
bladed article in a public place.
He is due in court on Thursday.
