Children ran into the street bleeding from knife wounds, says eye-witness
A group of children ran into the street from the nursery bleeding and suffering stab wounds, an eyewitness said.
Bare Varathan, 35, who owns a corner shop on Hart Street, said he was called by a staff member who told him, “Boss, get to the shop!”
He said: “I saw seven to ten kids outside the nursery. They were injured, bleeding. They were in the road, running from the nursery.
“They had been stabbed, here, here, here, everywhere. (Mr Varathan indicated the neck, back and chest area).
“They were all aged about ten. One of them was really seriously injured. 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.”
