Detectives can confirm that Leon Telemacque, 31, of Clements Road, Birmingham, has been charged with two counts of attempted murder and possession of a knife. He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear before Exeter Magistrates’ Court on Monday 20 May.
Detective Inspector Paula Trevett said: “This has been a fast-moving investigation, and I understand the concern caused in the local community.
“There will continue to be a police presence in the City Centre while we carry out enquiries and offer reassurance.
“We do not believe there is a wider risk to the public and we would ask people not to speculate on social media as this could prejudice to any future court process.”
