A man appeared at Croydon Magistrates Court today charged with the attempted murder of a woman in a violent knife attack at Grenaby Avenue on Friday.
Hussain Haron, 22, of London Road, Mitcham, was charged in connection with the incident, in which two women suffered stab wounds at a residential address in Selhurst.
Haron has also been charged with possession of an offensive weapon.
The police were called to a home on Grenaby Avenue at around 2pm on June 9, where a 29-year-old woman was found with stab wounds. London Ambulance and the air ambulance were both called.
