Multiple people are believed to have been knifed in a mass stabbing in a public park in Reading this evening. Extremely graphic video on social media showing four people on the floor as they are helped by witnesses and police, with additional officers rushing to help amid screaming.

The footage shows a chaotic scene with people covered in blood and appearing not to move as they lay in the grass in Forbury Gardens in Reading, Berkshire. Witnesses and police can be seen performing CPR on the possible stabbing victims. Blood is visible on the floor.

There is a huge police presence and at least two air ambulances have landed near the scene. Witnesses also reported seeing a police helicopter in the sky amid claims of a manhunt.

Just seen a horrible video on twitter about this.

Reports of possibly 3 dead
 
Been reported it happened after the BLM meeting there is quite a bit of speculation about the incident timeline on social media.

Very worrying and sad to see!

IMHO people shouldn't film and share these harrowing scenes on social platforms clips of medics working to save lives. It's not appropriate by any means -I'm all for openness, truth and transparency in the news media, but bereaved families shouldn't have to find out or view their dying loved ones being filmed.

Sadly, been expecting something like this to happen. Lock-down has put a lot of pressure on the population. Add to that money woes and the start of a race war that's fueled by the media, well it was always going to end in tears. My hope, this initiates the end of the flare up, and people start going about things in the democratic way, that we used to be accustomed to.
 
Someone needs to ****ing step the **** up and bring people together. The world is so ****ing divided and we really need a figure to come from somewhere and get us on the right ****ing track.

Yes. Black lives matter is fighting a good fight and long may it continue.

But there are other fights that need fighting too. This incident should never have happened. Nor should those who preceded it. Dozens if not hundreds dead for no ****ing reason.

I think far too much of this can be put down to class and the haves and have notes. Far too many people are left behind and left disenfranchised. There is far too much ****ing anger in the world and we need to better invest in communities at grass roots.

****ing sickening time to be alive and someone in a position where they have the ability to affect change needs to step the **** up for everyone.
