‘Like a scene in a horror movie’
Two children were killed and nine others were stabbed on Monday when a hooded man launched a knife attack in a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.
The attack began just before midday in Southport, Merseyside, as the children, some as young as six, were enjoying the workshop at the beginning of the school holidays.
Six of the wounded children remained in a critical condition on Monday night and were being treated at hospitals across the North West.
Two adults were present at the dance and yoga class and tried to intervene. They were also being treated for stab wounds and were said to be in a critical condition.
Merseyside Police confirmed that a 17-year-old boy, from the village of Banks, about five miles away from Southport, had been arrested and was being questioned on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.

The youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons and is originally from Cardiff, moved to the Southport area with his Rwandan parents when he was aged six.
In a press conference, Chief Constable Serena Kennedy, of Merseyside Police, said that while the incident was not being treated as terror-related, colleagues from counter-terror policing had offered to assist with the investigation.
She said the motivation behind the attack remained unclear.
On Monday evening, the King sent a message of support to the families of the victims.
He said: “My wife and I have been profoundly shocked to hear of the utterly horrific incident in Southport today.
“We send our most heartfelt condolences, prayers and deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones of those who have so tragically lost their lives, and to all those affected by this truly appalling attack.”

Ms Kennedy said that her officers arrived to find children subjected to a “ferocious attack”, adding: “We believe the adults who were injured were bravely trying to protect the children who were being attacked.”
She went on: “As a mum and a nana, I can’t begin to imagine the pain and suffering that the families of the victims are going through at this time.”
Sir Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, offered his condolences to the victims , saying that “the whole country is deeply shocked”.
Attack ‘like scene in a horror movie’
The Taylor Swift-themed workshop had been organised by Leanne Lucas, a local teacher, and was intended to coincide with the start of the school holidays.
About 25 children, aged between six and 11, signed up for the event, which was due to last two hours from 10am until midday.
Witnesses described how just after 11.45am, the attacker allegedly pulled up at the dance studio, which is situated in a small business centre behind a residential street, in a taxi and then got out without paying.
One witness claimed he had a black hooded top pulled up and was wearing a Covid-style face mask. He walked into the studio through the front door, which was unlocked for fire safety reasons.
People living close by described hearing shrieks and screams before blood-soaked children began running from the building.
Parents, hysterical with panic, dashed to the scene desperate to find their children.
One witness said she had seen a mother at the scene, adding: “She was screaming, ‘My daughter’s been stabbed.’ The woman was in hysterics.”
Colin Parry, owner of Masters Vehicle Body Repairs on Hart Street, called the police and said mothers were screaming as they arrived at the scene. He said: “It is like a scene from a horror movie.”
Mr Parry added: “It’s like something from America, not like sunny Southport.”
Within minutes, a massive emergency response was under way, with dozens of ambulances, police cars, fire engines and helicopters arriving at the scene.
Ryan Carney, who lives on Hart Street, said he rushed home from work to be with his mother after she saw the incident.
He said his mother had gone into the street after hearing screaming and crying, adding: “All she said was she saw members of, I don’t know, either police or ambulance, carrying out a few bodies of girls.
“They were in white, but covered in red, covered in blood. She said she could see the stab wounds in the backs of the children.”
A local parent, who did not wish to be named, said his daughter had been “traumatised” by the attack. He said: “My daughter was in it and she was traumatised. She ran away and she’s safe.”
Hospitals declare major incident
North West Ambulance Service said victims were taken to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, Aintree University Hospital and Southport and Formby hospital.
Alder Hey declared a major incident and asked parents not to bring their children to the emergency department unless it was urgent.
Emily Spurrell, Merseyside’s Police and Crime Commissioner, said: “To hear that innocent, defenceless children have been attacked during a Taylor Swift event at a dance school as they enjoyed the start of the school summer holidays is unthinkable and absolutely abhorrent.
“These young people had their whole lives ahead of them and it is hard to find the words to convey our deep sadness.
“Our region will be heartbroken that more young lives have been lost at the hands of violence and more have suffered serious injuries, and I share local people’s deep concern and anguish.”
