A 22 year old man has been charged with two counts of attempted murder.

He is expected to appear at Belfast Magistrates court this morning, Friday, February 3, for a first remand hearing.

The charges relate to an incident during which two police officers were attacked with a knife at an address on Ormeau Road in Belfast on Wednesday 1 February.

One officer suffered a serious stab wound to his neck while the second sustained a cut to his face.

As is usual procedure the charges will be reviewed by the PPS.
