Hampton Sainsbury's stabbing: Four women attacked in supermarket car park | |
(35 minutes later) | |
A man has been arrested after stabbing four women in the car park of Sainsbury's supermarket in West London. | |
Police arrived at the supermarket in Hampton in Richmond to discover three women suffering from knife wounds to the chest, legs and back. | |
A fourth female stab victim was later discovered in a nearby property. | |
She was airlifted to hospital by the air ambulance for injuries described by police as life-threatening. | |
The other three victims were being treated by medics with what have been described as non-life-threatening injuries. | |
A man in his 60s was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder and is being held in a nearby police station. | |
Police do not believe the incident is terror-related. | |
Tangley Park Children's Centre, which overlooks the scene, made sure all their children were kept inside until it was safe. | |
A staff member at the centre told the Evening Standard: "It's just such a shock, our parents and children could have been walking to their cars at that time. | |
"Our sympathies go out to everyone who was hurt and we are really glad none of our families were involved." | |
A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said: "We treated four women at the scene for various stab wounds including to the chest, legs and back. | |
"We took three women as a priority by road ambulance to a major trauma centre in South London. | |
"The air ambulance took the other woman as a priority to another major trauma centre in Central London." |
