Trial date set for man, 25, charged with double stabbing at William Hill Bookmakers in Leyland

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 (March 14) 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.

Appearing at Preston Crown Court earlier today for a pre-trial review, Bloomfield has been granted bail on the condition he does not enter the Leyland area.

A trial date has been set for July.
