Nov. 2 (UPI) — Two people were stabbed at the Sony Music headquarters in west London late Friday morning with one person being taken into custody by authorities.
Metropolitan police reported that they were called to the area at about 11 a.m. where workers were said to be running away from the building. The location is opposite of a building that houses the Daily Mail, Independent, Metro, and other media organizations.
„At this time, we believe two people are injured,“ police said, according to The Guardian . „One person, who is believed to be behind the incident, has been arrested and at this stage we are not looking for anyone else.“
Scotland Yard said that neither victim sustained life-threatening injuries, but one person was taken from the building in a stretcher. The building was evacuated as a precautionary measure.
One witness told the Evening Standard that the victim, who worked for a catering contractor, was stabbed in the upper thigh before the two were separated.
„The guy with the leg injury had a towel wrapped around his leg, and the attacker was sitting down on the floor, still obviously very angry, with people trying to calm him down, and paper towels wrapped around his arm,“ the witness continued.
Another witness said that the violent incident included „shouting and commotion“ as the suspect and victim allegedly fought inside the building.
„It looked like they were having a fight,“ the witness told the Evening Standard. „One had fallen over and was on his back and the other was standing over him. I thought he was raining punches down, but then I saw the knife.
„It was about six or seven inches long, and he was standing over him trying to get him, stabbing downwards as the other man put his arms up to defend himself. He was going nuts,“ the witness said before they were broken up.
