A 47-year-old woman has been arrested after four men were stabbed in Covent Garden in central London, the Metropolitan Police said.

The men, aged 34, 39, 42 and 52, were taken to hospital after emergency services were called to reports of a stabbing on Endell Street at about 12:30 BST.

Arrest And Current Condition

The Met said two men remain in hospital with injuries that are not thought to be life threatening or life changing. The other two have been discharged.

The woman was arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon and assault. The force said it was believed to have been a mental health-related incident.

Assistant Chief Superintendent Jason Stewart said officers responded within minutes after receiving multiple reports and that, at an early stage of the investigation, police believed it to be an isolated incident.

He said a visible police presence would continue in the area while evidence is gathered.

Police Response In The Area

Crowds gathered as London Air Ambulance landed in nearby Trafalgar Square as part of the emergency response. All four victims were transported to hospital by road.

A cordon that ran from High Holborn and covered the St Mungo’s homeless centre on Endell Street has since been removed.

St Mungo’s said a spokesperson could not confirm whether anyone associated with the organisation was involved at this stage. The charity said it was working closely with emergency services and added that officers had been seen speaking to people before they entered the centre.

Witness Accounts

Arjan Gjorga, who manages a fish and chip shop on Endell Street, said he saw a woman who appeared to be attacking people at random. He said he noticed her being arrested a few minutes later and that police responded quickly.

Another witness, who did not want to be identified, said they saw the stabbings outside the Shaftesbury Theatre before the woman moved down Endell Street.

The witness added that they noticed the woman stab three people with scissors near the theatre, before the police arrived.

A staff member at a nearby barber shop said they helped one of the victims call police. The worker said the victim ran into the shop to make the call, was traumatised and panicked, but that officers arrived very quickly.

White woman, born in the UK ❓

Immigrant bashers can pretend you didn't see this. 😏

More likely a man pretending to be a woman.

It would be very unusual if it was actually a white woman.

I read that it was a 'mental health' incident. If this was a genuine mental health incident, as seems to occur so often nowadays, then blame this on the Care in the Community policy, where those who are a danger to themselves or others are released from secure hospitals to terrorise the generla community.

I'm not saying that we should lock up all those with mental health issues (the hospitals would be more than full!). But in my day, 'loonies' were not allowed to roam the streets....

That's why they invented anti-psychotic drugs for people with mental health issues and murderous tendencies.

Not sure how effective they are though ...

Sad try, and once again you fail at trying to excuse the unauthorized migrant crisis.

The woman was obviously mentally ill, The photos and videos show that. You conveniently ignore the fact that the presence of 1 million+ migrants in the UK has overwhelmed the NHS health care system .Hundreds of thousands of Syrians, Afghanis, Iraqis, Pakistanis, Bengalis et al are using NHS mental health services. The result is that UK nationals cannot easily access the healthcare. It is an inconvenient truth about the burden of migrants. There are lengthy waits to access psychiatric/psychological care. If the migrants were no longer accessing the services, waiting times would reduce and the time available for patient care would increase.

BINGO!

You couldn't let the fact it was a Native born White person get in the way of your hatred.

Yes, of course!

The queue at NHS was too long.

Too many immigrants in line!

Why, she was practically forced to murder someone!

She had no choice thanks to all those peaceful law abiding immigrants who don't murder people preventing her from getting treatment.

You're obviously suffering from a medical condition called Amathia and I recommend you go to the nearest library and read books.

That's the cure for this terrible disease. 😃

Cute.

You turned a single mental-health stabbing into a full cosplay of moral superiority.

Nobody claimed every crime is committed by immigrants.

The point is the scale, the pattern, and the refusal to control the inflow that makes everything worse — including the NHS queues that leave native patients untreated until they snap.

One white woman with scissors doesn’t cancel the rest of the data. It just gives you a temporary dopamine hit so you can pretend the larger problem doesn’t exist.

Why isn't her name published?

Sending their wives out now to do it,lazy buggars.

Unverified claim that this murder is due to immigrants getting NHS healthcare.

I never made any false claims based on hate.

That's all you and your ilk attacking normal people who point out your false, unverifiable claims based on hatred of immigrants.

Exactly. Muslim haters can't quit hating on Muslims so they even post their rubbish on threads about murderous White limies going berserker.

CHEERIO 😄

When you see the pictures from the CCTV that were caught of her, then it's clear she's a serious nutjob that just popped and should have been in a padded cell at an asylum... looney tunes.

You just invented a claim I never made, then congratulated yourself for debunking it.

I didn’t say “this stabbing happened because an immigrant got NHS treatment.” I do believe the scale of uncontrolled immigration is straining every system, including the NHS, and that the cumulative pressure has consequences.

One white woman with scissors doesn’t erase the data on patterns, volumes, or outcomes. It just gives you a convenient distraction.

Calling pattern recognition “hatred” is the oldest cope in the book. It’s how people avoid discussing numbers by attacking the person who notices them.

You didn’t refute the argument. You misrepresented it, then moralised about the misrepresentation. That’s not a rebuttal. That’s a tell.

Interesting that the day after this incident there's an announced that (hopefully) might reduce the risk of this happening again.

She's white so everyone is assuming she is ethnically English. I'd imagine they're very happy with that assumption.

If they released her name as something like Agnieszka Nowakowskza people might get the wrong end of the stick and we wouldn't want that 😄.

Not saying she's not English of course, but recent history tells us when the name is released there's usually a very specific reason.

The only certainly is that if she turns out to be English, the toxically empathetic lefties will obviously use this as a reason to justify 1,323,451 more immigrants. 😄

Wow, you can bring in conspiracy theories anywhere. Any excuse to rant about immigrants, even when none are involved. Ironic that this is a thread about mental illness.

The size of the chip on your shoulder is unbelievable.

The 1 million + migrants are mainly those here legally. Many of them support the NHS by working in health and social care.
