Overview
- Officers responded to a report on Endell Street in Covent Garden and found four men with stab wounds who were treated at the scene and urgently taken to a specialist trauma centre.
- A 47-year-old woman was arrested at the scene on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon and assault and officers seized a pair of scissors as evidence.
- Metropolitan Police describe the inquiry as early and say they are not seeking any other suspects while they establish motive and review forensics.
- Authorities have not provided an update on the current medical condition of the four male victims since their transfer to trauma care.
- Covent Garden was cordoned for emergency and forensic work, a disruption in a busy West End district that may prompt short-term increases in police and medical presence there.
