According to authorities, an additional eight individuals were transported to medical facilities with injuries caused by a stabbing incident.

Andrew Reid, who works as a lifeguard, shared with Sky News that he witnessed a woman who was bleeding severely. He used the term "crazy" to describe the entire experience.

He stated: "Oh my, that unfortunate lady had suffered from severe blood loss. A few onlookers and I rendered aid to her, while authorities were frantically racing around."

In my opinion, they likely believed there was a second person who was attacking, causing a great deal of fear.

A different lady was lying on the ground, also not in good condition. According to Mr. Reid, she had also bled excessively.

He assisted the authorities and performed CPR alongside them. Despite their efforts to revive her, he has doubts about whether she would have survived.

Mr. Reid proceeded to aid yet another woman. The incident involved several individuals as victims, leading to a difficult and challenging day for everyone involved, as described by him.
