The immediate area was contained by police 'in order to ensure the public remained safe', a spokesman said, adding that armed officers were involved 'in view of the clear threat to life but there was no mention of firearms being present'.

Police believe the people involved are known to each other and that these were not random attacks.

Officers are still looking for those responsible for the attack.

The spokesman said: "Anyone with information can contact the police online or by calling 101, quoting serial 1829 of 10/07."
