Goodfellow, of Ravel Close, Stamford, was arrested in the early hours of Wednesday, 22 February, and was charged on Thursday night.

Another 18-year-old who was arrested on suspicion of affray has been released with no further action.

Det Insp Dave Penney said: “I know there will be people in the community who feel afraid about what has happened, but thankfully, incidents like this in the area are very rare.
