They’ve arrested the Perp but are not disclosing their identity which sounds a bit like how Southport rose to ignominy.
Update at BBC – The Met said the girl would require hospital treatment but her injuries were not life threatening, while the woman’s injuries were “more minor”. The force said there was no suggestion the incident was terror-related “at this stage”.
