A lone attacker, a minor, entered a center for new mothers in Southport, a suburb of Liverpool, and, knife in hand, launched slashes in every direction. It injured 8 people, mostly girls, and two of the little ones died. In particular, a children's yoga class is in the sights. In fact, the center also hosts activities for children between 3 and 11 years old.

Police arrested a 17-year-old allegedly responsible for the stabbings.

The investigators underline that the episode is not currently being treated as an event of terrorism, it is not yet clear what the motive was. Witnesses spoke of "horror scenes".
