A mum who was stabbed at Notting Hill Carnival last weekend has died just under a week later.
Cher Maximen, 32, died this morning after she was stabbed at around 6pm at the carnival in London on Sunday, August 25.
She was rushed to hospital after receiving emergency treatment from police officers at the scene.
A 20-year-old man has been arrested and charged with attempted murder.
Shakiel Thibou appeared at Westminster magistrates court on Wednesday, and he’s next set to appear at the Old Bailey on September 25.
He was also charged with possessing a knife in a public place and public disorder.

Following Cher’s death, the charge will be reviewed by police and the Crown Prosecution Service.
The court heard she was attacked while trying to intervene in a fight which had broken out amongst the crowd.
She suffered severe injuries including a collapsed lung and it was feared both of her legs may have needed to be amputated.
Detective Chief Inspector Alex Gammampila said: ‘My thoughts are with Cher’s loved ones as they come to terms with this terrible loss.
‘They are being supported by specialist officers and we will make sure that support continues.
‘Cher was at Carnival with her young child. We have been in close contact with our local authority partners and Cher’s family since soon after this incident to make sure the child is safe and looked after.’
