Overview
- South Wales Police say they have charged 18-year-old Idris Ahmed with wounding with intent and possession of a knife after a stabbing at Barry Island on May 25.
- A 17-year-old boy suffered a serious leg wound in the attack and underwent a below-knee amputation; he remains under critical care at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff.
- Ahmed appeared at Cardiff Magistrates' Court on Saturday and was remanded to appear at Cardiff Crown Court for a preliminary hearing on July 3.
- Police state they have kept the victim's family updated and that investigations and evidence-gathering at the scene are ongoing.
- The case has raised local safety concerns because the attack took place on a very hot, crowded Bank Holiday Monday when thousands visited the resort and further public updates are likely as the legal process continues.
