A KNIFE used in a Park South stabbing was buried so deep in his buttocks it had to be surgically removed, a court heard.

Another man was allegedly shot in the face with an air pistol.

The teen pair charged in the wake of the attack on Horsham Road, Park South, have been remanded in custody.

Aaron Toward-Parker, 18, of Bath Road, Swindon, and a 17-year-old Swindon boy who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before Salisbury Magistrates’ Court yesterday.

Toward-Parker was charged with causing grievous bodily harm, possession of a bladed article and affray. His younger co-defendant is accused of carrying a firearm/imitation firearm with criminal intent, actual bodily harm and affray.

Neither defendant entered pleas to the charges.

Salisbury magistrates heard a knife used to stab a 20-year-old man in the buttock had to be surgically removed. Another man was shot twice in the face with an air pistol.

Magistrates remanded Toward-Parker into custody and the boy into youth detention accommodation. The pair will appear before Swindon Crown Court on February 22.
