In court, the victim was named as Katarzyna Czochara, who is understood to be the manager of the Castle Quay store.

She remains in hospital in a "critical but stable" condition, according to Jersey Police.

Jersey branches of Morrisons are run as franchises by retailer Sandpiper.

It continued: "Our priorities are to ensure everything possible is being done to care for our much-loved colleague and their family who are foremost in our thoughts.

"We are offering full support to the police and other authorities and also supporting fellow members of staff affected by the incident."
