The assault took place at Silverstream Avenue in Bangor on Friday evening.

Police believe a hammer was used to beat the 20-year-old man while the 17-year-old boy was stabbed in his side.

The pair have been charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and having an offensive weapon. They are due in court in Newtownards on Monday.

They were both arrested on Saturday evening.
