Detectives have charged a 50-year-old man with attempting to murder a teenager in a terror attack in Surrey.

Vincent Fuller, 50, of Viola Avenue, Stanwell, has also been charged with a series of other offences, detectives from Counter Terrorism South East said.

The charges relate to an incident on Saturday at a Tesco car park on Town Lane, Stanwell, where a 19-year-old man was stabbed.

Surrey Police said it will be charged as a terrorism case, and that Fuller is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court in central London on Saturday.

Fuller was charged with attempted murder, possessing a bladed article, affray, having an offensive weapon and racially aggravated fear or provocation of violence.

Police were called to the village, which is near Heathrow Airport, at around 10.30pm on Saturday.

Armed police attended and detained a man an hour later in nearby Town Lane.
