A Spalding man has been remanded into custody following a stabbing incident in the town on
Monday.
Aurel Irimia, 46, made a first court appearance on Wednesday afternoon before magistrates in Lincoln.
He is charged with wounding Jonathan Taylor with intent to do him grievous bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon (a knife) in a public place – Station Street.
The wounding charge is an indictable only matter and must be dealt with at crown court.
No pleas were taken but Irimia’s solicitor, Lisa Elkington, indicated that the defendant would be admitting both offences.
Irimia, a factory worker in Spalding who lives in Cortez Close, is a Romanian national and used an
interpreter to follow proceedings.
Bail was refused and the defendant’s next scheduled hearing is at Lincoln Crown Court on March 7.
