We are awaiting an update on the condition of those injured. A 36-year-old man was arrested at the scene and he is in custody.”
The witness said: “I heard shouting, I heard shrieking – I thought ‘who would be shrieking at this time in the morning?’ The shrieking sounded like the police – you know when they are ordering someone to stop or to get on their knees or something – it was like that.
