Channay Augustus has been charged with possession of an offensive weapon, affray, assault on an emergency worker, common assault and possession of cannabis.

A woman has been charged with assaulting a security guard at a hotel housing migrants – after one of its residents allegedly walked into her flat.

The migrant, who is in his early 20s, has also been arrested on suspicion of assault following Wednesday’s alleged incident at the Britannia Hotel in central London’s Canary Wharf.

Footage had circulated of a man entering a house after being told “to go back to the hotel” – and he was later detained by members of the public.

It is understood he had been staying at the Britannia Hotel at the time, but no longer resides there.

Channay Augustus has been charged with possession of an offensive weapon, affray, assault on an emergency worker, common assault and possession of cannabis.

The 22-year-old is an occupant of the flat that had been entered.

According to the Metropolitan Police, the affray and common assault charges relate to an altercation at the hotel on Wednesday evening.
