A 47-year-old woman has been charged after four men were stabbed near Covent Garden in central London.
Stella Gollovena, of no fixed address, was charged with four counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and one count of possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.
Police were called to Endell Street at about 12:30 BST on Wednesday after four men, aged 34, 39, 42 and 56, were found with stab wounds. They were taken to hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening or life-changing. All have now been discharged.
Gollovena was arrested at the scene and taken into custody. She will appear at Highbury Magistrates’ Court later.
The incident took place in the capital’s busy tourist area filled with bars, theatres and restaurants.
London’s Air Ambulance landed at nearby Trafalgar Square following the incident, but the four men were taken to hospital by paramedics via road.
