Student Roshonara Choudhary, 21, had made an appointment at the former minister’s constituency surgery in east London where she is alleged to have TWICE plunged a blade into his stomach.
Police recovered one knife from an aide who bravely disarmed the attacker on Friday afternoon. They later found a second weapon hidden in her clothing.
Choudhary, who wore Muslim dress and an orange headscarf, is to appear before Stratford Magistrates tomorrow charged with attempted murder and two counts of possessing an offensive weapon.
A police source told us: “There’s been a lot of speculation about her mental health but she was deemed fit for interview.
“There’s nothing to suggest any connection between her and Mr Timms on a personal level. Any motive looks like it’s come from a deep-seated hatred either of the politician himself or for what he represents.”
Last night Mr Timms was in the Royal London Hospital, White- chapel, recovering from surgery on his wounds. A spokesman said: “The operation went well. He’s comfortable and resting. It’s anticipated he’ll be discharged in a few days to recuperate at home.”
Mr Timms - MP for East Ham, and previously Newham North East, since 1994 - was said to be shaken but “in good spirits”.
One of his aides, Unmesh Desai, added: “Mr Timms’ first concern was when he’d be able to see constituents again. But he’s unlikely to return to work for a few weeks.”
A schoolgirl who saw the drama unfold in the Beckton Globe Library last night said the attacker was “skinny” but “fierce” looking.
Choudhary - who once mentored local kids at an educational project in West Ham football club - was last night described by East Ham neighbours as a “bright girl” and “devout Muslim”.
She recently placed an ad in a local newsagent offering herself as a £5-an-hour English tutor.
One neighbour whose children were taught by Choudhary said: “She abruptly cancelled a lesson on Friday afternoon.
“My kids were supposed to go her house after school but about 2pm she rang me to say that she wasn’t available. I didn’t ask why.
“She seemed completely fine and totally normal. I’m shocked.”
