A man has been charged with attempted murder after a stabbing in Devizes.

Emergency services rushed to reports of a man having been stabbed in the Sidmouth Street area of the town at around 12.30pm on Saturday (29 June).

The victim, a man aged in his 20s, was flown to Southmead Hospital in Bristol with stab wounds – but is said to be in a stable condition.

Sidmouth Street was cordoned off as a crime scene while the incident was dealt with. Roseland Avenue was also shut by police – as armed police attended an address.

He also faces charges of harassing Kavan Whelan, assaulting Simon Webb, assaulting PC Crabbe and possession of a knife in a public place.

Bostanli was remanded in police custody to appear at Salisbury Magistrates’ Court this morning (Monday).

UPDATE: The defendant was remanded in custody to appear at Salisbury Crown Court for a plea and trial preparation hearing on 31 July.
