POLICE have charged a 40 year-old man following an assault in a Borders High Street.

The Border Telegraph reported the incident two weeks ago, which took place around 1pm on Tuesday, August 16 in the High Street, Coldstream, when an 80-year-old man sustained minor injuries.

Inspector John Scott of Kelso said: "We had an excellent response from the public following our appeal for information, and I’d like to extend my sincere thanks to the local community for their support."

A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
