A man who was arrested following an alleged stabbing at Headcorn Station yesterday has been released on police bail.

The 35-year-old man from Maidstone who was arrested on suspicion of assault has been bailed until September 20.

The arrest followed a fracas which began at the car wash in Station Approach at 8.40am and spilled over into the station, where a man reportedly entered the booking hall with a pair of scissors stuck in his head.

The victim was flown by air ambulance to a London hospital where his condition is said to be serious but stable.

Anyone who has information that may assist the investigation is asked to call police on 01622 604100, quoting reference 23-0393.
