A man has been charged after three people were stabbed in the Bishopsgate area of London last Thursday.
Louis Parkinson, 25, from Catherall Street, in the N5 postcode district of London, has been charged with conspiracy to commit robbery, grievous bodily harm with intent, possession of an offensive weapon and possession of a Class B controlled drug.
He will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.
Colin Bishop, of the City of London Police Major Crime Team, said: “A search warrant was executed last night in connection with a second suspect who is actively being sought and the investigation continues.”
Three people were injured as members of the public tried to intervene to stop a man’s phone being stolen in Bishopsgate on 6 October.
Witnesses reported seeing a group of two or three masked knifemen attacking a pedestrian just before 10am.
Detectives are continuing to appeal for information and have asked people to contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
