Jack Charnock, 22, has since been charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of a bladed article.

Charnock, of Winchester Mews, Bircotes, is still in custody and is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court later today, September 27.

Detective Sergeant Jackie Price, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a violent assault that could’ve quite easily resulted in the victim suffering much more serious injuries.

“There is absolutely no excuse for anyone to carry a knife on the streets – for the simple reason that they’re incredibly dangerous as this incident has shown.”

She added: “Nottinghamshire Police condemns all forms of violence and we will always respond robustly to every report we receive of this nature, so that we can ensure our communities are kept safe for everyone.”
