Three people have been taken to hospital after they were stabbed in a horror incident on Bishopsgate, near Liverpool Street Station on Thursday morning.
The attack is not terror related.
A shopkeeper working nearby told The Standard: “My uncle told me a guy grabbed a phone off a pedestrian and tried to run away.
“Some innocent people tried to stop him after all the shouting. He just took a knife and started stabbing. My uncle saw everything. He is ok.
“The four people were totally innocent just trying to help and then this happened.”
