quote:Children stabbed in horror attack were at holiday Taylor Swift dance party
Mums screamed in horror after young girls were brutally attacked by a knifeman during a Taylor Swift-themed dance party in Southport today.
One person, believed to be a child, was killed in the stabbing frenzy at the event being held for primary school children at The Hart Space just before midday. A total of eight people were wounded in the incident.
Around 25 youngsters were believed to have been taking part in the event when the horror unfolded at the hypnobirthing centre, which runs kids clubs during the holidays allowing children to take part in dance and craft classes.
quote:'They had been stabbed, here, here, here, everywhere'
Bare Varathan, 35, who owns a corner shop on Hart Street, said he was called by a staff member who told him, “Boss, get to the shop!”
He said: “I saw seven to ten kids outside the nursery. They were injured, bleeding. They were in the road, running from the nursery.
“They had been stabbed, here, here, here, everywhere. (Mr Varathan indicated the neck, back and chest area). They were all aged about ten. One of them was really seriously injured.
“I hope they will be OK. Only two police jeeps and ambulances arrived, then armed police came and took him out of the nursery. Somebody told me he had arrived in a taxi and had a knife.”

One resident, who lives on Hart Street but did not want to be named, said he was at home about midday when a woman pulled up outside in her car, screaming. He said: "She was screaming 'my daughter's been stabbed'.
"The woman was in hysterics. Then two police cars rushed up the street the other way. It was a mum with her 10-year-old daughter who had been stabbed.
"I helped to get her back up to where the police cars and ambulances were. She didn't look great but my focus was on getting her back up the street to get help.
"When I got back up the street there were a couple of kids on the floor being seen to by paramedics and, as I came back, more police cars were going down and more ambulances gradually started to arrive."
