A mother who was stabbed after trying to stop a fight at Notting Hill Carnival has been named.
Cher Maximen, 32, has been identified as the woman who was stabbed during the ‘family day’ of the two-day event on Sunday (August 25).
Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard she attended with her three-year-old daughter and other family and friends, when she was stabbed in the groin.
Ms Maximen suffered a cardiac arrest and remains in a life-threatening condition following the incident.
She is in a coma after losing 20 units of blood and one of her lungs collapsed, while she may need to have her leg amputated, the court heard.
Shakiel Thibou appeared at court on Wednesday (August 28), charged with attempted murder and was also charged with possessing a knife in a public place and violent disorder.
He appeared alongside his two brothers, Sheldon Thibou, 24, and Shaeim Thibou, 21, who are both charged with violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker, while Sheldon Thibou faces an additional charge of possessing a stun gun.
All three brothers wore grey tracksuits and spoke to confirm their name, date of birth and address as they sat in the dock together at the hearing.
Shakiel Thibou, of Masbro Road, Hammersmith, west London, and Sheldon Thibou, of Star Road, Hammersmith, gave no indication of pleas, while Shaeim Thibou, of Charleville Road, Fulham, indicated a not guilty plea.
District Judge John Zani denied all three defendants bail and remanded them into custody to next appear together for a hearing at the Old Bailey on September 25.
