A teenager is appearing in court accused of stabbing a Metropolitan Police officer during a routine stop and search.
Alastair Gregson, 18, is alleged to have knifed Pc Nigel Albuery in Bute Road, Waddon, south London, at about 9.45pm on Thursday night.
The 34-year-old officer, who joined the Met in 2002, was part of a "proactive plain clothes patrol" and had stopped a group of males when he was stabbed several times, according to police.
He remains in a serious but stable condition in a south London hospital, but his injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
Gregson, of Whitefield Avenue, Purley, will face Croydon Magistrates' Court on Saturday charged with one count of GBH with intent against Pc Albuery.
He also faces another charge of GBH with intent against a 18-year-old woman, possession of an offensive weapon and intimidation of a witness in relation to an incident last Saturday
Two other 18-year-olds arrested in connection with the stabbing of Pc Albuery were released with no further action, police said.
