On Thursday at Albion Place in Maidstone, a police car was parked outside the scene. A 48-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder after a police officer in his 50s was stabbed – reportedly with a pair of scissors – and airlifted to a London hospital with serious injuries.
One bystander told Kent Online: “It started off with one police car, then they all just swarmed around and ran into the building. It looked very intense.” A Kent Police spokesman added: “The officer was airlifted to a London hospital with injuries consistent with stab wounds. He remains there in a serious but stable condition.”
Fortunately, the officer has since been discharged from hospital and is recovering at home. Robert Jenner, 48, is due to appear at Medway Magistrates’ Court today in relation to the incident.
The attack happened while the officer was attending a property in Maidstone, Kent yesterday evening, and emergency services descended on the area outside a block of flats at around 8pm.
This incident is a stark reminder of the day-to-day risks faced by police officers as they work to protect us and keep us safe. We can only hope that the officer makes a full recovery.
