Man charged with attempted murder of Preston dad
A man has been charged with the attempted murder of a Preston dad.
Steven Fox, 41, from Duke Street, Preston, will appear before the city's magistrates court on Saturday. He also faces a charge of aggravated burglary.
It came as police revealed victim Jason Marshall, who was attacked by intruders in his home on Royal Drive, Preston, has now spoken to detectives after undergoing surgery.
The 35-year-old was allegedly beaten, tied up and stabbed by two men who subjected him to a two hour ordeal on Wednesday.
Detectives, who visited Mr Marshall in the Royal Preston Hospital on Friday, have stressed the incident was isolated and that they are hunting for a second man.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the police on 0845 1 25 35 45 or speak to Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
