A former minister was stabbed twice in the stomach by a knife-wielding woman today as he held a surgery for constituents.

Stephen Timms was attacked by the 21-year-old, who appeared to be wearing Muslim dress, at his regular Friday afternoon surgery in his East London constituency.

She lunged at him and stabbed him twice before being wrestled away by a security guard and arrested.

An aide to Mr Timms was hailed a hero after it was revealed he wrestled the knife out of the hands of the female attacker.
