A man has been charged with attempted murder after another man in his seventies was found with serious injuries at a house in Kirkby on Bain.
43-year-old Daniel Kent, of Broad Lane in Sutterton, is due to appear before Lincoln Magistrates' Court on Wednesday 28th October.
Lincolnshire Police said an investigation was launched after a call came into their Force Control Room just after 3.50pm on Saturday 24th October, reporting that a man had been found with significant injuries at an address on Kirkby Lane.
Detectives said they have been working through a number of lines of enquiry since the call came in.
The force said the injured man remains in hospital with very serious injuries.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy McWatt, the Senior Investigating Officer from the East Midlands' Major Crime Unit, said: "This remains a fast-moving and extremely serious investigation, and we are continuing to work to establish the full circumstances surrounding this incident.
"I would urge anyone who was in the area at the time, or who may have relevant CCTV, doorbell, mobile phone or dashcam footage, to come forward and speak with us. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who saw a light grey VW Arteon car being driven around the village between 9am and 4pm to contact us," he said.
He added: "A man remains in hospital with very serious injuries, and it is imperative that we build as complete a picture as possible of what happened."
Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting incident 222 of 24th October 2026, or to contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
