Man charged over triple stabbing at pub

A man has been charged in connection with a triple stabbing at a Wetherspoon pub.

Three people were hurt in the attack on Saturday at the Navigation Inn on Wharf Road in Kings Norton, Birmingham.

Kadeem Russell has been charged with three counts of wounding, possessing a blade and driving offences.

The 19-year-old from West Bromwich has been remanded to appear before Birmingham Magistrates' Court later, said West Midlands Police.

The force said two men and a woman received hospital treatment for stab wounds.

One of those was the pub manager who had undergone surgery but did not have life-threatening injuries, Wetherspoon spokesperson Eddie Gershon previously said.

He added the Navigation Inn was a popular local pub and the incident was "completely out of character".

Police said the two injured men, 20 and 25, were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and remained in custody for questioning.
