A man and a woman have been charged with attempted murder after the stabbing of a police officer in Bow.
Andrew Beadie, 20, of Claremont Road, Basildon, and Janine Morris, 34, of Rainhill Way, Bow, were charged on Saturday with attempted murder and two counts of affray.
Morris was also charged with assisting an offender.
Police said the officer remained in hospital on Sunday with non life-threatening injuries.
The pair will appear in custody at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
A 17-year-old man who was also arrested on suspicion of attempted murder remains on bail until late January next year.
The plain clothes policeman, aged in his 40s, was allegedly stabbed repeatedly in the stomach last week.
He was knifed at least three times while on a covert operation targeting gangs in Bow.
The officer underwent major surgery but is said to be recovering well.
