One child has been killed and at least seven people were injured when a knifeman reportedly 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 the sold out children’s dance, yoga and bracelet making workshop, which was just about to finish.

Mothers arriving to pick up their children at the end of the workshop were greeted with a scene that was likened to something from a ‘horror movie’ as injured children were carried outside by emergency workers.

Merseyside Police officers detained a man and seized a knife. 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.

Ryan Carney, who lives with his mother Hayley on Hart Street, said he rushed home from work to be with her after she witnessed the terrible aftermath. He said: ‘She went out and there was a woman who was screaming, saying she can’t find her child.

‘They let her into the cordon and she ran down and all she could hear was screaming and crying, saying, ”That’s my child! That’s my child!”’

There are thought to have been around 25 children aged between six and 11 taking part in the workshop for schoolkids in years two through to six when the horrific attack took place.

Onlookers 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.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the multiple stabbings were ‘horrendous and deeply shocking’ as he thanked emergency services for their response.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said she was ‘deeply concerned’ by the attack.

Eye-witness Bare Varathan, 35, who owns a corner shop on Hart Street, said he was called by a staff member who told him, ‘Boss, get to the shop!’

He said: ‘I saw seven to ten kids outside the nursery. They were injured, bleeding.

‘They were in the road, running from the nursery. They had been stabbed, here, here, here, everywhere. [Mr Varathan indicated the neck, back and chest area].

‘They were all aged about ten. One of them was really seriously injured.

‘I hope they will be OK. Only two police jeeps and ambulances arrived, then armed police came and took him out of the nursery. Somebody told me he had arrived in a taxi and had a knife

One resident, who lives on Hart Street but did not want to be named, said he was at home about midday when a woman pulled up outside in her car, screaming.

He said: ‘She was screaming ‘my daughter’s been stabbed’. The woman was in hysterics. Then two police cars rushed up the street the other way.

‘It was a mum with her 10-year-old daughter who had been stabbed. I helped to get her back up to where the police cars and ambulances were.

‘She didn’t look great but my focus was on getting her back up the street to get help.

‘When I got back up the street there were a couple of kids on the floor being seen to by paramedics and, as I came back, more police cars were going down and more ambulances gradually started to arrive.’

A BBC reporter at the scene described one girl on a stretcher covered in blood with ‘her parents running after her’.

The victims have been taken to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, Aintree University Hospital and Southport and Formby hospital.

A staff member at the Hart Space, who wanted to remain anonymous, said she had heard the suspect was wearing a ‘black hood’ when he reportedly stabbed multiple children.

They said: ‘There were probably 25 children there because that’s the max we have there and they had reached the max.
