Emma Longman, who works at a nearby supported living accommodation, describes feeling "panicked" after her workplace received a "safeguarding alert" from police following the attack.

She and her colleagues closed windows and blinds and secured the back gate, she says.

"[Initially] we didn’t know what was going on," she says.

"We could hear the police outside, we thought maybe it was a road accident.

"The son of one of our support workers was in a different holiday club, she got a phone call saying to go and pick him up.

"I felt really panicked, we didn't know what was going on. Everyone was a bit on edge and scared.

"When we found out it was a stabbing we thought ‘oh my god, are they still out there?’"
