A mother has been left in a coma in a life-threatening condition after being stabbed as she tried to intervene in a fight at Notting Hill Carnival, a court heard.
Shakiel Thibou, 20, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday charged with the attempted murder of Cher Maximen, 32.
Ms Maximen suffered a cardiac arrest and remains in a life-threatening condition following the incident.
She is in a coma after losing 20 units of blood and one of her lungs collapsed, while she may need to have her leg amputated, the court heard.
Shakiel Thibou is also charged with possessing a knife in a public place and violent disorder.
All three brothers wore grey tracksuits and spoke to confirm their name, date of birth and address as they sat in the dock together at the hearing.
Shakiel Thibou, of Masbro Road, Hammersmith, west London, and Sheldon Thibou, of Star Road, Hammersmith, gave no indication of pleas, while Shaeim Thibou, of Charleville Road, Fulham, south-west London, indicated a not guilty plea.
District Judge John Zani denied all three defendants bail and remanded them into custody to next appear together for a hearing at the Old Bailey on September 25.
