A 16-YEAR-OLD boy from Winsford has been charged following a serious assault which left the victim with a broken jaw. 

The teenager, who cannot legally be named due to his age, has been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent. 

It comes following a police investigation into an assault in Nat Lane on December 6 last year. 

The victim, a 17-year-old boy, sustained a broken jaw as a result of the assault.

He is set to appear at South Cheshire Youth Court on Thursday, April 4.
