TWO people are appearing in court this morning charged with assault following the stabbing of an 18-year-old man.
Mehash McKenzie, 23, a sales assistant, of Bolney Road, Brighton, and a 15-year-old boy also from Brighton, have both been charged with causing grievous bodily harm and with possession of a knife in a public place.
McKenzie is also charged with possession of cannabis.
The 18-year-old victim sustained a stab wound to the stomach in the KFC restaurant in London Road, Brighton on Saturday evening.
He is still in a serious but stable condition at King's College Hospital in South London.
His brother told The Argus: “My brother is fighting for his life.”
Police are still searching for 18-year-old Jordan Ash from Brighton, who they want to interview about the stabbing.
Ash is described as white, 5ft 9in, of slim build, with dark brown hair and brown eyes.
Detective inspector Andy Wolstenholme said: "If you know where Jordan Ash is or see him, do not approach him but please contact the police via 999 quoting serial 1363 of 22/07.
"If you have any other information, saw what happened, or have seen any mobile phone footage of the incident, please contact us online.
