A TEENAGER is set to appear in court this morning charged with attempted murder after a stabbing in Hindley Green.

Police say they have charged Awa Zongo Bn, 18, with the offence following an incident in Atherton Road on Saturday, just after 10.30am.

An investigation was launched when officers responded to reports a 39-year-old woman had been knifed there.

Bn, of Atherton Road, Hindley Green, will appear before Wigan and Leigh magistrates this morning.

A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said the 39-year-old remains in hospital.
