A man has been arrested after four women were stabbed at a supermarket car park in Hampton, west London.

Police and paramedics were called to the supermarket off The Avenue, Hampton, at 10.35am this morning following reports of a man in possession of a knife, according to reports.

When officers arrived they found three women at the location with knife wounds while a fourth woman was found nearby with life-threatening injuries.
