A man has been charged with attempted murder after a woman was stabbed in the neck in Birmingham city centre.
West Midlands Police says Djeison Rafael, a black British national, also faces charges related to two further assaults and possession of a blade.
The force is continuing to appeal for anyone with information to come forward - and says the 21-year-old was wearing a grey tracksuit, black hat, trainers and a rucksack.
Officers were called to Smallbrook Queensway shortly before 9pm on Friday after receiving reports of a stabbing.
The victim - a woman in her 30s - was taken to hospital in a critical condition with a serious neck injury.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has thanked the police's "swift efforts" to arrest a suspect and urged witnesses to call 101.
She wrote on X last night: "I am shocked to hear a woman was stabbed in Birmingham in an unprovoked attack.
"My thoughts are with the victim, her family and friends."
