A Calne man has been charged after a victim ‘was threatened with a knife’ in a park.

Craig Russell was arrested by police officers responding to an incident at Calne Recreation Ground in Anchor Road at around 10pm on 5 June.

The 31-year-old, of no fixed abode, is accused of threatening a man with six-inch knife.

He has since been charged with affray, threatening a person with a blade in a public place and possession of cocaine, a Class A drug.

The defendant appeared at Salisbury Magistrates’ Court on 7 June, where the case was deemed too serious and was sent to Salisbury Crown Court.

Russell was remanded in custody until a plea and trial preparation hearing on 10 July.
