Stella Gollovena is charged with stabbing four men in London's Covent Garden district.

Stella Gollovena, a 47-year-old woman with no fixed address, has been charged with four counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and one count of possession of an offensive weapon. She is accused of attacking four men—Patrick De Barr, Thomas Harding, Adrian Lovett, and Mantas Jankus—with a pair of scissors in the busy tourist area of Covent Garden on Wednesday afternoon. Local police reported that the incident occurred around 12:25 p.m. on Endell Street. One of the injured victims flagged down police, and the suspect was subsequently chased and Tasered. Preliminary investigations suggest the incident was mental health-related and isolated. All four men were treated at the scene and transported to a major trauma center by road. While two men remain in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, the other two have been released. The deputy chief magistrate, Tan Ikram, remanded Gollovena in custody until her next hearing at Snaresbrook crown court on September 3.
