Horror as nursery plunged into lockdown after two killed in quadruple stabbing at central London business

PARENTS have opened up after a horrifying, quadruple stabbing plunged a nearby nursery into lockdown. Emergency services rushed to a local business - near to the nursery -at 1pm on Monday, after four people were attacked. 2 2 Four people were stabbed in total, with two sadly passing away from their injuries. A 58-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene and a 27-year-old man later died in hospital. Police have detained a man in connection with the incident, who is now in critical condition in hospital. The fourth man reportedly sustained injuries which were not life threatening. The horrifying incident has left the community shaken, particularly after a nearby nursery was plunged into lockdown. One mum opened up about the horrifying moment that she heard about the stabbing near Long Lane in Southwark. Choosing to remain anonymous, she told MailOnline: "[The nursery] sent us an alert while I was at work saying that there'd been a stabbing and that the roads would be cordoned off. "It's terrifying. When I walked down to the nursery I was trying to find out information about whether it was targeted or random, because you hear a lot about stabbings in London." She added: "It's really shocking. To have this in an area where I'm raising a child makes me worry that I shouldn't be living somewhere like this now that we have a family." Detective Chief Superintendent Emma Bond, who leads policing for the area, said: "Our investigation is in the early stages and we are working hard to understand the full circumstances of this shocking incident. "At this point, we do not believe it to be terrorism-related and there is no further risk to the public. "There will be a heavy police presence in the area throughout today and I would encourage anyone with information to speak with officers or contact the Met by other means." At the time, a spokesperson for London Ambulance Service said: 'We were called at 1.04pm today to reports of a stabbing on Long Lane, SE1. 'We sent a number of resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, advanced paramedics, incident response officers, a command support vehicle and paramedics from our tactical response unit. "We also dispatched a trauma team in a car from London's Air Ambulance, which consisted of a paramedic and a doctor in a car. 'We treated four people at the scene. We took three patients to major trauma centres as a priority. "Very sadly, despite the best efforts of our crews, a person was pronounced dead at the scene.' Like us on Facebook at @TheSun.
