Three men have been charged with causing actual bodily harm (ABH) and affray after an attack on journalist and left-wing activist Owen Jones outside The Lexington pub in Pentonville Road.
James Healy, 39, of Portsmouth, Liam Tracey, 34, of Boswell Street in Camden and Charlie Ambrose, 29, of Brighton, will appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
They were charged by postal requisition over the attack, which took place on August 17.
