Colm Bloomfield, of Grange Drive, Hoghton, has been charged with two offences of Section 18 wounding with intent.

Police were called to William Hill Bookmakers, Hough Lane, on Friday evening of March 14, 2025, to a report of an assault where they found two men in their 30s had suffered stab wounds and were taken to hospital for treatment.

The case was adjourned today at Preston Crown Court on the basis that neither party was ready.

A fresh date has been set for later this month.

Bloomfield was previously granted bail on the condition he does not enter the Leyland area.
