Man charged with attempted murder after woman stabbed outside infants school
A man has been charged with attempted murder after a woman was stabbed outside an infant school in Walsall.
The woman was attacked near Whitehall Nursery and Infant School shortly before 8am on Wednesday.
Hugh Wedderborn, aged 66, of Newbolt Street, Walsall, appeared before Wolverhampton Magistrates Court on Friday morning where he was charged with attempted murder.
He was remanded in custody ahead of appearing at the city's crown court on May 6.
Meanwhile the 64-year-old woman remains in hospital in a "serious but stable condition", police said.
The road was cordoned off in the aftermath of the stabbing as police started their investigation and forensic specialists scoured the road.
Nearby residents were left in shock at the daylight attack, which they said happened in an area which is usually quiet and calm.
