A man has been charged after a victim was knifed in the car park of a shopping centre in Romford, east London, earlier this week.
Admad Samadi, 27, appeared at Barkingside Magistrates' Court on Thursday accused of grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of an offensive weapon.
His arrest came after a 23-year-old man took himself to hospital with a stab wound on Tuesday. His condition was classed as not life-threatening.
The incident happened at the car park of The Brewery shopping centre, and witnesses previously reported seeing a man with a knife injury to the back.
On Thursday the Metropolitan Police asked any witnesses who have not yet spoken with officers to come forward, quoting CAD 3260/20Feb.
It comes after a teenager was charged with murder over the killing of 17-year-old Nathan Bawuah, in Hackney, east London, on Saturday.
The boy charged, also aged 17, was arrested by detectives on Monday and cannot be named for legal reasons.
Friends of Nathan lay flowers at the crime scene describing him as "a good soul".
A card left at the scene said: "I can't imagine a world without you in it..."
The teenager is the second to be killed in London this year. The first was Tyler Donnelly, 19, who was found by joggers with fatal stab wounds in a park in Feltham on January 25.
A total of 21 teenagers were killed in the capital last year, up from 14 in 2022. The number peaked at 30 in 2021.
Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway, who runs policing in Hackney and Haringey, said after the Hackney killing: “My thoughts are with the family of the young person who has tragically lost his life.”
