A 32-year-old man, who is not believed to have known the victims, was arrested at the scene.
A shop security guard has described how he disarmed a knifeman after an 11-year-old girl and her 34-year-old mother were stabbed in London's Leicester Square. Abdullah, 29, said he 'heard a scream', then 'jumped on' the man who was attacking the child before holding him down and taking the knife off him. 'I just saw a kid getting stabbed and I just tried to save her. It's my duty to just save them,' he said.
'This is a horrific incident and our thoughts are with the victims and their family,' said Detective Chief Superintendent Christina Jessah. 'We will continue to provide support to them over the coming days and weeks. 'I would like to pay tribute to the members of the public, including staff from local businesses, who bravely intervened in this incident. 'They put themselves at risk and showed the best of London in doing so.
