A 30-year-old Stevenage man has been charged with GBH after a 65-year-old man was seriously assaulted in Knebworth.
The incident is alleged to have happened in Gun Lane at about 11.15pm on Saturday, November 25, while the 65-year-old was waiting in his parked car.
He sustained injuries to his eyes, head and face.

He is next set to appear at St Albans Crown Court on January 5.
