Police describe it as a “major incident”, but that there is no wider threat to the public.
LONDON – British emergency services said a man has been arrested after at least eight people were stabbed in a “major incident” in Southport, north-west England, on July 29.
North West Ambulance Service said it treated eight patients with stab injuries who were taken to three different hospitals, including Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. Merseyside Police said armed police arrested a man and seized a knife after being called to reports of a stabbing at around 11.50am. .“I am deeply concerned at the very serious incident in Southport,” Britain’s Interior Minister Yvette Cooper said on X.
“All my thoughts are with the families & loved ones of those affected. I have spoken to the Merseyside Police & Crime Commissioner to convey full support to the police & thanks to the emergency services responding,” she added. Alder Hey Children’s Hospital said it declared a major incident, and its emergency department was extremely busy. It asked parents only to bring their children in if it was urgent.
