Moment mass knife brawl erupts INSIDE Oxford Street Selfridges as one man is stabbed and seven are arrested
This is the shocking moment right before a man was stabbed inside luxury department store Selfridges.
Video footage shows a youth holding a knife whilst knocking down a mannequin at the store on London’s Oxford Street.
The presumed culprit – wearing a face mask, is pushed back by a couple of other men whilst one shouts at him: ‘no, no’ and ‘take it in’.
One man, aged 20, was stabbed in the leg and taken to hospital and is one of seven arrested, including a woman, after the horror brawl yesterday.
Several men can be seen running into the camera shot in an aggressive manner and scuffling between each other.
All the men, wearing tracksuits and some with hoods pulled right up, then run down the aisle, presumably in pursuit of their victim.
A female store worker and a security guard can be seen hurriedly walking beside the crowd and trying to usher them out but was too outnumbered to be effective.
A Met Police spokesman confirmed that one man had been taken to hospital for a stab wound and was just one of many arrested so far in an ongoing investigation.
