A popular Tesco on Savile Street, Burngreave Sheffield is on lockdown after a man with a screwdriver stabbed two people. The horrific attack happened between the Pure Gym and the store.

The store was evacuated as police and paramedics were urgently called after the incident at around 1.30pm today. Shoppers described seeing one woman covered in blood. They said:

“All I saw was a woman screaming with blood all over her and the security guards were running towards us. The lady was down near the baking bit where all the bread is in the bottom right corner. I saw was a woman start screaming then security chasing someone.

We were all told to leave about five minutes after it happened. I didn’t see the other victim but I’m guessing that’s what all the commotion was in the staff only part. We just heard loads of shouting.”

A Spokesperson for South Yorkshire Police confirmed that one man has been arrested:

It was reported that a man and a woman had been assaulted by a man carrying a screwdriver outside of the Tesco store. Both have been taken to hospital for treatment.

Their injuries are described as serious. A man has been detained at the scene and remains in police custody.

There is a large police presence in the area at present and the store has been evacuated as officers carry out enquiries and examine CCTV footage.”

As of yet the Police have given no description of the alleged attacker…
