A man has been charged with attempted murder after an 11-year-old girl was stabbed in Leicester Square.
Ioan Pinatru, 32, of no fixed address, has also been charged with possession of a bladed article.
It was initially thought the girl’s mother had also been hurt, but it was later confirmed that blood from her daughter’s wounds had been mistaken for injuries of her own.
The girl was taken to hospital with injuries that are serious but not life-threatening, the Metropolitan Police said.
