Four men were stabbed in central London on Wednesday, with police confirming a woman has been arrested in connection with the attacks.
The Metropolitan Police said officers were called to the scene in central London after reports of multiple stabbings. All four victims are male, and emergency services attended to treat them at the location before they were taken to hospital.
The force confirmed a woman was taken into custody following the incident, though no further details about her identity or the circumstances leading up to the stabbings have been released at this stage.
London Ambulance Service crews were among those who responded, working alongside police at the scene. The severity of the injuries sustained by the four men has not been fully confirmed, though investigators are working to establish the full picture of what happened.
The Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation and are urging anyone with information or footage of the incident to come forward. Enquiries remain ongoing as detectives work to piece together the events that led to four men being stabbed in the heart of the capital.
The attack adds to growing concern around knife crime in London, which has remained a persistent issue for the city. Central London, typically busy with commuters and tourists, was the backdrop for what police are treating as a serious incident requiring urgent investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Metropolitan Police directly.
