Attempted murder charge after bottle attack at gig

A MAN has been charged with attempted murder after a bottle attack at a celebrity-packed party thrown by smartphone company BlackBerry.

Ashley Charles, 25, of Nevanthon Road, Leicester, is to appear at Camberwell Green Magistrates’ Court today.

A 37-year-old man remains in a critical condition in hospital following the incident at Pulse nightclub, in Southwark, central London.

The party was attended by journalists, celebrities including rapper Wretch 32 and stars of The Only Way Is Essex, and BlackBerry competition winners.

Brit award-winning singer Jessie J had been performing at the party before the bloody brawl and spoke of her shock on the website Twitter.

She wrote: “My thoughts are with the person seriously injured last night at the BlackBerry bbm party. So sad. I really hope they are OK.”
