Goodfellow was arrested on Wednesday morning and charged at 11.18pm last night, Thursday 23 February.

An 18-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion on affray has been released with no further action.

Detective Inspector Dave Penney from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) said: "I know there will be people in the community who feel afraid about what has happened, but thankfully, incidents like this in the area are very rare. We don't believe this was a random act of violence by strangers, but believe that the people involved were known to each other.

"We have remained in the area for the past few days and will be carrying out further patrols in the local community for the remainder of the week. We would also like to thank the members of the public who contacted us with information in relation to this incident."

Goodfellow has been remanded into custody and is due to appear at Lincoln Magistrates' Court this morning.
