A 30-year-old man is due to appear in court this morning after an alleged attack in which a police officer suffered severe burns.
Blagovest Hadjigueorguiev, without a fixed address, has been charged with serious bodily injury (GBH) with intent against a police officer and arson with intent to endanger life.
He is also charged with intentional GBH attempt against a second police officer who was not injured.
Hadjigueorguiev will appear today at the Truro Magistrates Court (Saturday 12 September).
The charges relate to an incident that occurred on Trevenson Road in Newquay on Friday morning.
A 51-year-old Newquay police officer and an Army veteran suffered severe burns that resulted in his being airlifted to hospital. The injuries were described as “life changing”.
