Four men have been stabbed in London’s Covent Garden district and a woman has been arrested, police say.
The four patients were treated at the scene and taken to a nearby trauma centre, a London Ambulance Service spokesperson said.
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.
Police said they believed the stabbing was a mental health-related incident and a pair of scissors were recovered at the scene, police said.
Police previously said that three people had been stabbed in the incident but in a statement they later confirmed four people were found with stab wounds.
There was a significant police cordon on Endell Street in Covent Garden.
The cordon started at High Holborn and covers the St Mungo’s homeless centre on the street, where officers were seen speaking to people before they entered the building.
