Woman charged with assaulting security guard at hotel housing migrants - after resident 'walked into her flat'

A woman faces multiple charges including affray and possession of an offensive weapon after a migrant entered her flat, triggering a police investigation and arrests, police said.

  • Following a migrant resident in his early 20s allegedly entering her Isle of Dogs flat on Wednesday, Channay Augustus, 22, was charged with multiple offenses, the Met said.
  • A bus-load of migrants moved into the Britannia International Hotel in Canary Wharf early Saturday, prompting protests after weeks of demonstrations outside the hotel.
  • During the early hours of Friday, Metropolitan Police arrested the migrant in Hackney on suspicion of common assault after initially saying no offences were identified.
  • On Friday, Augustus faces her initial hearing at Thames Magistrates' Court after being remanded into custody by District Judge McIvor.
  • Snaresbrook Crown Court listed her next appearance for September 12, with her solicitor noting she was stabbed five years ago and is now blind in her left eye.
