London: Man charged with attempted murder of girl
A 32-year-old man, Ioan Pintaru, was on Tuesday charged with attempted murder after an 11-year-old girl was stabbed in Leicester Square in central London.
Pintaru was remanded in custody to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
He has also been charged with possession of a bladed article.
The girl’s mother, 34, was initially thought to have been hurt, but blood from her daughter’s injuries had been mistaken for injuries of her own, the Metropolitan Police said.
