A man from West Sussex has been charged in connection with a triple assault in an East Hampshire pub that left two men needing hospital treatment.

Joshua Kafourous-Smith was arrested over the weekend after being suspected of assaulting three men in the Red Lion in Horndean last Thursday, July 9.

The 36-year-old of The Drive, Southbourne, has since been charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentional strangulation, and assault by beating.

Kafourous-Smith is due to appear at Portsmouth Magistrates Court tomorrow morning (13 July).
