An 18-year-old has been charged with attempted murder after another teenager was stabbed at Notting Hill Carnival.
Rumarni Tuitt, 18, of Waltham Forest was charged on Wednesday with attempted murder and possession of a bladed article, said the Met police.
He appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Thursday where he was remanded to appear at the Old Bailey on September 26.
The stabbing happened in Canal Way, North Kensington, around 7.55pm on Monday, the final day of the Carnival in west London.
Police officers on patrol in the area responded, finding an 18-year-old man with a number of injuries including a serious wound to the stomach.
“The officers called for the urgent assistance of paramedics and gave lifesaving medical support until they arrived,” said a Met spokesperson on Thursday.
“They were supported by medics from London’s Air Ambulance.
“The injured man was taken to hospital where he remains in a stable, but critical condition.”
Tuitt was arrested at the scene of the incident and was taken into custody for questioning.
