A man in his twenties was stabbed in London inside Harrods departmental store and was rushed to hospital where his condition has been assessed as non-life threatening. The attack took place at around 7.30 pm on Saturday night and the victim sustained "stab and slash injuries", as per a report in the Independent.
The report added that it appears to suggest that the attack took place "within the Louis Vuitton section of the department store".
Kensington and Chelsea Police took to Twitter to inform about the accident. "We were called at 7.33pm to a fight inside the Harrods store in Brompton Road, SW1. A man in his 20s was taken to hospital with stab/slash injuries."
The police department stated that the victim is out of danger. "His condition has been assessed as not life-threatening or life-changing," they added.
They also mentioned that Harrods has been cordoned off. The Police mentioned on Twitter, "No arrest yet; enquiries continue. Cordons are in place," they said.
The Metropolitan Police have urged witnesses to come forward with any information.
However, it is to be noted that this is not the first time that a knife-attack took place at the departmental store. According to the outlet, a knife attack near the store killed one man in what police suspected was an attempted robbery in December 2019.
