Man, 48, charged over triple stabbing after boy, 2, girl, 8, and woman knifed inside home
A MAN has been charged over a triple stabbing which saw a two-year-old boy, a girl, aged eight, and a woman knifed inside their home in East London.
Kulvinder Ram is due to appear in court tomorrow charged with attempted murder following the frenzied attack on Friday evening.
The 48-year-old was arrested following the incident at 5.35pm on First Avenue in Dagenham.
All parties involved were known to each other, police have confirmed.
The victims were rushed to a major trauma centre to receive urgent treatment for stab injuries.
Police had previously said the injuries of the woman, in her 30s, and the boy were life threatening.
And that both the injured children were girls.
The arrested man - detained at the scene - was transported to hospital after being "taken unwell".
He was then discharged into police custody.
HEROIC NEIGHBOUR
It comes after heroic neighbour Davey Holland described smashing a window to try and help the young boy during the ordeal.

The 40-year-old forced entry into the property after getting a knock at the door by the blood-soaked mother.
He told The Sun: “She was saying there’s a baby in the house, please help him.”
A witness also told us: "About 5.30pm I heard shouting - I looked out of the window and I saw a lady covered in blood.
"She was very distraught, she was with a little girl.
"It’s shocking - it’s not something that happens in this area.
"Kids literally play outside in the street, that’s how safe it is. I look at it as a personal tragedy - but it’s so sad.”
Detective Superintendent Lewis Basford, responsible for policing in Barking and Dagenham, said previously: "This is a truly shocking attack and I want to thank local residents for their assistance and patience while we deal with this incident."
