An “American spy” who was stabbed near the GCHQ base in an alleged terrorist incident, had just finished a gym session and was known to her attacker, it has emerged.
The woman, who is thought to be in her 20s, was attacked shortly after leaving a leisure centre in Cheltenham last Thursday evening and sustained serious injuries.
A man, who was arrested at the scene, was on Wednesday evening charged with attempted murder.
Joshua Bowles, 29, is also charged with causing actual bodily harm and will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in central London on Thursday.
