He has been remanded in custody to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, 13 January.

On 26 April 2023 a 33-year-old man was watching a football match in a pub in Tollington Park at around 8.30pm

He became involved in a brief verbal altercation with another man, who allegedly produced a knife and slashed the victim’s face, leaving a deep laceration from his left cheek to his lip.

He was taken to hospital by paramedics. Though not life-threatening, the victim continues to receive treatment for his injury.

The suspect left before police arrival. Following extensive enquiries police issued a media appeal on 7 January and a man has now been arrested and charged as above.
