Police and ambulance staff were called to the Flying Boat, Spital Street, at about 4.45pm on Saturday 25 May 2019 after a man suffered injuries consistent with being stabbed. Joel Jueanville, 32, of Frindsbury Road, Rochester, was arrested on Monday 3 June in connection with the incident and has subsequently been charged with attempted murder and two counts of possession of a knife. He was remanded in custody when he appeared before Medway magistrates on Tuesday 4 June and will next appear at Maidstone Crown Court on Tuesday 2 July.
