Newly released CCTV footage appears to show the suspect in a Covent Garden attack calmly walking away from the scene after allegedly stabbing several men with a pair of scissors. The incident, which sent four people to hospital, has raised concern over public safety in one of central London's busiest tourist and entertainment districts, with the attacker reportedly showing no urgency as they left the area before police later made an arrest.

The footage was captured in the aftermath of the assault, which left four men requiring hospital treatment for their injuries. Police subsequently tracked down and arrested a suspect in connection with the attack, though full details of the circumstances, the extent of the victims' injuries and any charges have yet to be confirmed.
