Southport stabbing: 'One child dead' and seven people injured after knifeman rampages through a Taylor Swift-themed kids' dance and yoga workshop at summer holiday club…
One child was reportedly killed and at least seven people were injured by a knifeman who rampaged through a Taylor Swift-themed children's workshop in Southport this morning.
Armed police officers swooped on Hart Street in Merseyside, at 11.50am after the stabbing spree at a children's dance and yoga workshop, which locals said is usually the 'most lovely, lovely relaxing place'.
Merseyside Police officers detained a man and seized a knife after the horrendous attack that was likened to a scene from a 'horror movie'.
The force urged people to avoid the area but said there was 'no wider threat' to the public. The spree left one child dead in the quiet seaside town, the Liverpool Echo reported.
Around 25 children were believed to have been taking part in the event for schoolkids aged between six and 11 when the horror unfolded at the workshop in a hypnobirthing centre.
People at the scene said they saw a man in a 'black hood' arrive in a taxi with a knife before people were left on the street 'screaming' and 'in tears'.
Locals said they saw children running from the building and assumed there had been a car accident because a vehicle was covered in blood.
But they quickly realised something more sinister had occurred when they saw 'seven to ten kids' who were 'injured and bleeding' outside the nursery.
