A teenage boy has been arrested after two children died, and 11 other people were injured, including eight critically, in a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party in Southport. Police have stated the attack is not terror-related, and adults were injured while protecting the children.
Two children have died and 11 other people were injured in a “horror movie” knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party. Of those injured, six children and two adults are in a critical condition.
She told reporters: “My officers were called to reports of a stabbing at 11.47 this morning at an address in Southport. When they arrived, they were shocked to find that multiple people, many of whom were children, had been subjected to a ferocious attack and had suffered serious injuries.READ MORE: Major incident declared as children among eight injured in stabbing attack
A large police cordon has been put up around the building in Hart Road, with police officers guarding either end. Officers and vehicles could be seen from a distance inside the cordon, including scenes-of-crime officers in white boiler suits. “I hope they will be OK. Only two police jeeps and ambulances arrived, then armed police came and took him out of the nursery. Somebody told me he had arrived in a taxi and had a knife.”
“She didn’t look great but my focus was on getting her back up the street to get help. When I got back up the street there were a couple of kids on the floor being seen to by paramedics and, as I came back, more police cars were going down and more ambulances gradually started to arrive.” British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the incident was “horrendous and deeply shocking”, while Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said she was “deeply concerned”.
