A man has been charged after a woman was stabbed at a conservative club in Wiltshire.

Jordan Bingham, 21, of no fixed abode, faces charges of Section 18 grievous bodily harm and possession of a bladed article in connection with the incident in Westbury.

The incident took place in the early hours of Sunday morning, August 16, at Westbury Conservative Club, where police were called to reports of disorder involving a large group of people.

A 24-year-old woman was taken to hospital with a knife wound, which police say is not life-threatening or life-changing.

A 21-year-old woman was also arrested on suspicion of assaulting two emergency workers and a member of the public.
