One week on from a serious incident at Kings Cross Underground station, detectives are urging Notting Hill Carnival goers who witnessed what happened to come forward and assist the investigation.

Officers were called to the Hammersmith and City line platform at 1.26pm on Monday 29 August following reports of a serious incident involving a man and a woman on the platform.

A 41-year-old man has since been charged with attempted murder. Arthur Hawrylewicz, of Avondale Gardens, Cardiff, remains in custody until his next court appearance.
