A THIRD man has appeared in court charged in connection with an incident in which a teenager was impaled on his car seat with a sword.

Blackburn magistrates were told there was a suggestion that a gun had also been produced during an altercation involving two gangs in Albert Place, Lower Darwen, last Saturday week.

Keiron Anthony Holmes, 19, of Greenside Avenue, Blackburn was remanded on bail until October 31 by Blackburn magistrates charged with violent disorder.

Two men, James Hacking, 22, and Craig Newton, 20, both of Swan farm Close, Lower Darwen, had previously appeared in court.

Hacking was charged with wounding Christopher Shackleton with intent to cause him grievous bodily harm and both men were charged with violent disorder.

They were both sent on bail to Preston Crown Court for trial.
