Westfield London stabbing: Man in hospital after shopping centre attack | |
(35 minutes later) | |
A man has been stabbed at a London shopping centre packed with thousands of families and children on their school holidays. | |
Witnesses said the attack happened on the ground floor of Westfield London, with two men seen running away from the scene. | |
Police were called at 2pm and arrived to find a man in his 20s with stab wounds. | |
He was taken to hospital in west London by ambulance and his condition is unknown. | |
"Officers retain an open mind as to the motive but this incident is not terror related," a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said. | |
Two men have been arrested in connection with the incident. | |
Westfield London, in White City, is the second-largest shopping centre in the UK and the biggest in London. | |
It was partly closed as investigations into the incident continued on Friday afternoon. | |
The attack came amid increased security across the capital after a man went on a knife rampage in Russell Square, killing an American woman and injuring five others. |
