A mother is in a coma and may lose her leg after being stabbed in Notting Hill Carnival in front of her three-year-old daughter.
Cher Maximen, 32, is fighting for life in hospital after she tried to stop a fight breaking out at the street festival, a court heard. Shakiel Thibou, 20, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court yesterday charged with attempted murder.
The court heard the victim had attended Notting Hill Carnival with her young daughter and other family and friends on Sunday and was stabbed in the groin in broad daylight. Ms Maximen suffered a cardiac arrest and remains in a life-threatening condition following the incident. She is in a coma after losing 20 units of blood, one of her lungs has collapsed and she may need to have her leg amputated, the court heard.
