A man has been charged with attempted murder after a woman was stabbed in front of her child in south London, police say.

Mark Brazant of Windmill Road, Ealing, was also charged with possession of an offensive weapon and possession of a pointed or bladed article.

The 43-year-old turned himself in at a west London police station in the early hours of Thursday.

Police were called at 5.20pm on Monday to a report of a stabbing in Downton Avenue, Streatham Hill, south London.

Metropolitan Police said the 36-year-old mother was attacked from behind and stabbed three times while pushing her child in a pushchair.

She was taken to hospital but her injuries are not considered life-threatening or life-changing.

Brazant will appear in custody at Camberwell Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
