A security guard at a busy M&S was left bleeding after trying to stop a knife-wielding suspected shoplifter.

Emergency services attended the M&S food shop at North Wharf Road, Paddington Basin in central London.

Eyewitnesses reported a man running away from the scene with shouting being heard, while another added they had seen paramedics “rushing in” to the busy shop.

An eyewitness, Adam, told GB News: “We saw someone running away from the M&S and heard shouting but didn’t get a look at him.”
