A 26-year-old man was tonight charged with attempted murder following a stabbing in central Belfast earlier this month.

A man was seriously injured when he was stabbed several times outside a bank at Donegall Square West in the early hours of November 6.

The accused is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court on Monday.

He is also charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent, possession of an offensive weapon, robbery, affray and obstructing police, said a police spokeswoman.
