A 42-year-old Newry man has been charged with a double attempted murder following a weekend stabbing of two young males in the city.
Two teenage boys aged 18 and 15, were injured in an incident, which took place on First Avenue at around 10.50pm on Saturday night.
Their injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
Both victims and the suspect were treated in hospital.
The accused, Aaron Magee appeared via video link at Newry magistrates from a PSNI holding cell in Lurgan.
The defendant spoke only to confirm his identity and that he understood the charges.
A PSNI detective told the court she could connect the accused to the charges including possession and supply of cocaine and cannabis.
The defendant is further charged with possession of an unknown weapon on Saturday night in First Avenue, Newry.
No bail application was made with defence stating that a suitable address was yet to be arranged.
District judge Eamonn King remanded Mr Magee into custody to appear via video link at Newry court on October 14.
