A woman has been arrested after four men were stabbed in Covent Garden in central London, police said.
Four people have been taken to a major trauma centre following the incident on Endell Street on Wednesday afternoon.
The Metropolitan police said four men, aged 34, 39, 42, and 52, were found with stab wounds. No further update has been given on the extent of their injuries.
A 47-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon and assault, the force added. She was taken to custody, where she remains.
A London ambulance service spokesperson said: “We sent an ambulance crew, a paramedic in a fast response car and an incident response officer. We also dispatched London’s air ambulance.
“We treated four patients at the scene and took them all to a major trauma centre as a priority by road.”
