A man has been charged with attempted murder after a social worker and two police officers were stabbed in north London.
The 61-year-old social worker, who has not been named, suffered multiple stab injuries as he tried to check on the welfare of two vulnerable children in Wood Green.
Two police officers who were called to assist him when he was denied entry to a property in Noel Park Road also suffered knife wounds during the incident.
Sulai Bukhari, 33, was charged with attempted murder on Sunday morning, as well as two counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm against the two officers.
Bukhari, of Noel Park Road, is due to appear in court on Monday.
The social worker’s injuries are not deemed to be life-threatening, while the two officers were discharged from hospital in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Officers were called to assist the social worker just before 8pm on Friday.
After forcing the door and entering a communal area of the building, the social worker was approached by a man who stabbed him several times.
Two other men arrested in connection with the same incident have been released under investigation.
Haringey Council said previously it would ‘provide all the necessary support’ to the social worker as he makes his recovery.
