A man was appearing in court today charged with causing grievous bodily harm following a late night assault outside a west Cumbrian club.

The alleged victim is seriously ill in hospital after sustaining head injuries.

Thirty-year-old Kevin David Griffin, of Central Avenue, Egremont, was appearing at West Cumbria Magistrates’ Court this morning.

The alleged incident happened outside Egremont’s Falcon club at 11.30pm on Saturday. A 28-year-old man, believed to be from the town, suffered a serious head injury and was taken to the West Cumberland Hospital.

His condition was last described as serious but stable.

Another man, a 27-year-old also from Egremont, was arrested on suspicion of a related public order offence. He is on police bail.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or with information that could help the investigation should call DS George Atkinson at Workington CID on 101.
