The attack occurred in Leicester Square, a magnet for tourists with its shops, theaters and cinemas. The square and surrounding area have an estimated 2.5 million visitors every week.
Police said the two victims were taken to a major trauma center. The extent of their injuries was not immediately clear.
The stabbing occurred as Britain is on edge after violence for the past week as crowds spouting anti-immigrant and Islamophobic slogans clashed with police. The disturbances have been fueled by right-wing activists who used social media to spread misinformation about a knife attack that killed three girls during a Taylor Swift-themed dance event.

I remember when those guys would always tell us about how we have school shootings and how we’re crazy for having guns , now knife attacks are the new school shootings for them . They’ll use any weapon available it doesn’t matter , you could argue knife attacks are worse and more traumatizing
