Man charged after two Met officers were stabbed in central London
The 24 year old will appear in court after the attack in Leicester Square early on Friday.
A man has been charged with attempted murder after two police officers were stabbed in central London on Friday morning.
A male constable was knifed in the neck and chest and a female officer was stabbed in the arm in Leicester Square.
24-year-old Mohammed Rahman, of Westbourne Park Road in Notting Hill, faces charges of six further offences.
He faces one count of causing grievous bodily harm in connection with the attack on the female officer.
Relating to three other officers, Rahman has been charged with assault and two counts of threatening a person in a public place with a bladed article.
He has also been charged with robbery and possession of a bladed article.
Rahman will appear at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on Monday.
Earlier on Saturday, the Met said the female officer who suffered a stab wound to the arm had been discharged from hospital, while the male officer remained under medical supervision.
The officers who were taken to hospital - both attached to the Met's Central West Command Unit responsible for policing Westminster - were carrying out routine duties and were not part of the wider policing operation in place following the death of the Queen.
