Feltham stabbing suspect Rehan Khan, 25, charged for double attempted murder after baby and mum, 32,

A MAN has been charged over the knifing of a baby and his mum at a West London flat.

Rehan Khan, 25, is being held by cops on suspicion of the attempted murder of the 11-month-old boy and woman, 32.

He handed himself in after the woman and baby were found with knife wounds at a property in Feltham on Monday night.

The baby is fighting for life in hospital while his mum's injuries are not thought to be life threatening.

Shocking photos show blood smeared across the wall and floor next to the front door of the home yesterday.
