The Metropolitan Police said early indications suggest it was a
mental health-related incident and that scissors were recovered
at the scene. Police said four men aged 34, 39, 42 and 52 were
found with stab wounds and a 47-year-old woman was arrested on
suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon and assault.
The injured were taken to a trauma center following the incident
Wednesday afternoon on Endell Street. Two were discharged and
two remained with injuries that were not believed to be
life-threatening.
“While still at an early stage of the investigation, we would
like to reassure the community that we currently believe this to
be an isolated, mental health-related incident," Chief
Superintendent Jason Stewart said.
A manager of a fish and chip shop near the scene said random
people were stabbed.
“I didn’t see any scissors, but I heard it was with small
scissors,” Arjan Gjorga said, adding that "the police responded
immediately.”
