Detectives have charged a 50-year-old man with attempting to murder a teenager in a terror attack in Surrey.

Vincent Fuller, 50, of Viola Avenue, Stanwell, has also been charged with a series of other offences, detectives from Counter Terrorism South East said.

The charges relate to an incident on Saturday at a Tesco car park on Town Lane, Stanwell, where a 19-year-old man was stabbed.

Surrey Police said it will be charged as a terrorism case, and that Fuller is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in central London on Saturday.
