Man charged with attacking Davenport

August 25, 2009

A 25-year-old man was charged yesterday with stabbing West Ham defender Calum Davenport, who remained hospitalised in serious condition with leg wounds.

Davenport and his 49-year-old mother were attacked on Friday night at her home in Bedford, 92 kilometres (57 miles) north of London and the centreback needed emergency surgery. The 26-year-old player was described in serious but stable condition.

Bedfordshire police said yesterday that 25-year-old Worrell Whitehurst, from Derby in central England, was charged with grievous bodily harm to Davenport and also assaulting the player's mother.
