A teenager will appear in court on Monday charged with seven counts of attempted murder after a series of town centre stabbings.
Raheem Nawaz, 19, from Keighley in West Yorks, was charged following the knife attacks in the town on Thursday night and early Friday morning that left eight people injured.
Two victims remain in hospital, a 44-year-old woman who is in a serious but stable condition, and a 24-year-old man who was also described as stable.
Nawaz will appear before Keighley magistrates.
West Yorkshire Police were initially called after reports that a 24-year-old man had received stab wounds in Victoria Street at about 10.15pm on Thursday.
Just over two hours later, a second incident happened in North Street in which "a further seven members of the public received injuries caused by a knife", officers said.
