A man has been charged with attempted murder after a man in his 80s was taken to hospital "with a number of stab wounds", police have said.

Lancashire Police said officers were called to Wordsworth Avenue in Padiham, near Burnley, just before 08:00 BST on Monday.

The victim was taken to hospital where he remains in a stable condition, the force said.

Kyle Newton, of Whitegate Gardens in Padiham, was arrested in the Dryden Street area shortly after the alleged assault. The 22-year-old is due to appear before magistrates in Blackburn later.
