A suspect is appearing in court following reports he made threats with a weapon towards two men in separate Swale incidents.
At around 8.45pm on Monday 31 October 2022, it is alleged a victim was threatened by a man with a machete on a platform at Sheerness train station.
Later the same evening, it is reported the same suspect threatened a second victim whilst holding a machete at Sittingbourne train station. The threats continued as the victim left the station and ran into Mill Way.
Arrest
It is understood neither victim suffered any injury and within a few hours of the second incident, a man was arrested in Kemsley.
The man from Gillingham was later charged with two counts of affray and two counts of possessing a bladed article.
The 21-year-old appeared before Medway Magistrates’ Court where he was remanded to a hearing at Maidstone Crown court on a date to be confirmed.
