BBC news -

At least four people have been injured in a stabbing at the Arndale Centre in Manchester, police have said.

A man, 41, is being held on suspicion of terror offences after three people were stabbed and a fourth was hurt.

The centre was evacuated after the attack at about 11:15 BST, during which police said a man with a large knife "started lunging and attacking people".

Two police community support officers (PCSOs) tried to confront the attacker before being chased.

Speaking at a press conference, Assistant Chief Constable Russ Jackson suggested that up to five people were injured in the "random" and "brutal" attack.

"The man attacked people around him," he said.

Time for a knife ban.
Seriously, it would be helpful to get the motivation behind the attack (crazy, drugs, bad day, etc.)
