Walworth stabbing: Market vendor describes fatal knife attack

A market vendor has described the moment his customers were stabbed in front of him, one of them fatally.

Adam Kadirzadah, who sells fruit in East Street in Walworth, south London, told BBC London how a man approached shoppers from behind.

“It was a nice morning, there were a lot of customers in the market, it was a busy time,” Mr Kadirzadah said. “The guy was shouting out with a big knife… It was really shocking, I couldn’t sleep all night. It was really bad.”

One man was killed in Sunday morning’s attack, while a man and a woman were taken to hospital. Their condition is unknown. A man, believed to be in his 60s, was arrested at the scene.
