A man has been charged with grievous bodily harm after four people were injured in a hammer attack in Soho.
The accused, Morteza Ahmadi, 38, is also charged with causing actual bodily harm, sexual assault and possessing an offensive weapon, namely a hammer.
Two women - one in her 20s and one in her 30s - were attacked with a hammer in Regent Street, central London, at about 23:00 BST on Friday, police said.
Mr Ahmadi, of no fixed address, is due at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
The attacker then entered a pub on Glasshouse Street, in central London, and attacked a woman in her 40s and a man in his 50s.
Security staff restrained the man who was then arrested by police.
