Bournemouth Man Charged With Attempted Murder After Stabbing

Police went to Richmond Hill Drive around 7:30 PM on February 24, responding to a reported assault. Two men were found with stab wounds and taken to the hospital; their injuries were not life-threatening. A woman in her 30s was also injured, but her injuries were not serious.

A 21-year-old man, Maksims Pilko from Bournemouth, was arrested after leaving the hospital. He faces charges including attempted murder, assault, and possessing a knife in public.

Pilko appeared in court on March 1 and is scheduled to appear again on April 3. A man in his 30s from Southampton was injured in the stabbing, but has been released from the hospital. Police taped off Richmond Hill, and the cordon remained in place the following day.

On February 24, around 7:20 PM, ambulances rushed to the scene. The ambulance service sent multiple vehicles, and two ambulances transported people to Poole Hospital.

That same night was busy for police, as they dealt with three other unrelated incidents in Bournemouth and Poole.

Armed police stopped a car on Ringwood Road in Poole, arresting two people at gunpoint. The arrests were connected to the theft of an air pistol in Blandford.

A 19-year-old man from Poole was arrested on suspicion of theft and possessing a weapon. A 33-year-old man from Poole was also arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon.

A fight was reported on Westover Road, leading to police intervention. One woman was arrested but later released, as it was determined that a man had fallen instead of a fight occurring.

Earlier that day, emergency workers responded to a report of someone falling from a bridge on Lindsay Road in Poole before 6 PM. One person was taken to Poole Hospital.
