       Hagos, from Swansea, has also been charged with possession of an offensive weapon.

       The victim was knifed in a "random and unprovoked attack" in the capital's busy Oxford Circus on Thursday evening.

       Brave passers-by wrestled the suspect to the ground and stashed his knife after the central London bloodbath unfolded.

       The victim was rushed to hospital in a critical condition, but police confirmed on Friday that he died.

       Footage shows officers pinning down and searching the suspect who is heard ranting at cops.

       Two cops restrained the handcuffed suspect who is lying in the road next to a red London bus.

       Horrified shoppers look on as the man, dressed in a red top and khaki trousers, is arrested after the savage attack.

       Scotland Yard said the horror is being treated as "random and unprovoked" and confirmed they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the gruesome murder.

       Detective Chief Inspector Vicky Tunstall, from the Specialist Crime Command, said: "I would like to reassure the public that his is not believed to be linked to terrorism.

       “It is clear that this area of Oxford Circus was very busy at the time of the attack.

       "Members of the public intervened to detain the suspect and I hope to trace and speak to them, to secure their accounts and offer support. In particular, I would like to trace two young males with skateboards who led this intervention.

       "I am appealing to any person who witnessed the assault, or who has mobile phone footage, to contact us. I am also appealing to the owners of any passing cars with dashcams to check whether they have recorded the incident."

       Eyewitnesses said they saw the suspect being jumped on by a man before others pinned him down after the "horrific" stabbing.

       One said: "One man grabbed him and soon after the police were there holding him down and he was shouting.
