A 25-year old man has been charged with attempted murder after an incident on Wednesday in a Mold supermarket.

Police say Zack Davies from the King Street area of the town was arrested in the store before being interviewed and later charged.

A 24-year old man from Yorkshire sustained serious, but not life threatening injuries.

Davies will now appear before Wrexham Magistrates Court later today.

Police say they are carrying out high visibility patrols around the area to reassure staff and shoppers.

"I would like to reassure the local community that this appears to be an isolated incident and from our inquiries to date we believe Davies was acting alone and we are not seeking anyone else in connection with this assault. Crimes of this nature are extremely rare and we are encouraged by the large number of witnesses who have so far come forward to help us build a complete picture of what took place yesterday, however if others can also assist I’d ask they contact Police."

– Detective Chief Inspector Alun Oldfield
