Man charged with assault at Blake Court in Gosport

Officers have been investigating an assault which took place at Blake Court in South Street over the weekend.

We want to reassure residents that this was an isolated incident, and a man has been charged in connection with this.

Michael Christopher Jenkins, aged 31, of Felix Road in Gosport has been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

This follows a call to police at 1.44am on Saturday 5 February to an incident where a man in his 60 sustained an injury to his forehead which required hospital treatment, but was not life-threatening.

Jenkins was remanded in custody to appear at Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court today (Monday 7 February).
