Three men charged with attempted murder over bar machete attack

In response to a machete attack in a London pub, three men were charged with attempted murder.

On February 13, Walthamstow police were called to The Duke bar on Wood Street in response to stabbing reports.

At 8:16 p.m., police, paramedics, and the London Air Ambulance arrived at the site where three males had been found inside the pub with stab wounds.

The guys, who ranged in age from 27 to 42, were brought to a hospital in east London, where doctors determined that their wounds weren’t life-threatening.

Three counts of attempted murder and possession of an offensive weapon were brought against Jayden Brown, a resident of The Avenue in Chingford.

The 22-year-old appeared at Thames Magistrates’ Court last Wednesday and was remanded in custody until his next appearance at the Old Bailey on March 27.

Brandon Brown, 24 and of no fixed address, is jointly charged with three counts of attempted murder as of February 26.

Three men were found stabbed on February 13.

While Ruben Dyer, of Upper Walthamstow Road, faces one count of attempted murder.

The 27-year-old appeared at Thames Magistrates’ Court on February 18 and was remanded in custody until this Friday, where he is due at Inner London Crown Court.

All three men have also been charged with possession of an offensive weapon.

A 15-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder and have been bailed until a date in late March, police added.

Detective inspector Laura Crump, from the local policing team in Waltham Forest, said: ‘Our investigation is making good progress, but we still need any witnesses who haven’t yet spoken to police to come forward.

‘I know this incident has caused significant concern in the community and I would like to reiterate that we believe this was a targeted attack with no wider risk to the public.’

Police said they do not believe the incident was gang-related.
