Man charged following assault in Grantham pub

We have charged a man with grievous bodily harm (GBH) following an incident where a man received a significant facial injury.

It was reported that a man had been attacked with a pint glass at The Old Bank pub in Grantham at around 1.15am on Saturday, 10 June.

Officers were called at 1.21am, and were immediately dispatched to locate the suspect and help the victim. On arrival, they found a man in his late teens with a serious injury which required hospital treatment. It was later confirmed that he needed 17 stitches to the facial wound.

Officers carried out local street searches, as well as enquiries at a number of addresses in the town.

Kieran Bostock (19), of Kestrel Court in Grantham, was interviewed the following day and was charged yesterday with Section 18 GBH wounding with intent.

He appeared at Lincoln Magistrates’ Court today.

He has been released on conditional bail ahead of a court hearing which will take place at Lincoln Crown Court. That hearing date has not yet been set.
