AN IMMIGRATION officer from Kent was today charged with two counts of wounding after two men were injured at the French Channel Tunnel terminal in May last year.

Alan Prior, 52, was charged after the pair, who were in the UK control zone at Coquelles on May 11, were hurt during an alleged incident. He will appear at Folkestone magistrates' court on Wednesday, February 6.

Mr Prior's address has not been released because of the nature of his job.
