Bedfordshire Police have charged two teenagers with wounding with intent after a man was stabbed in Kempston.

The incident, on Bedford Road, happened last Thursday (15 August).

A 17-year-old boy and a 14-year old boy, both from Kempston, were arrested on Monday (19 August) and have now been charged.

They have been bailed ahead of a further court hearing next month.
