News summary

In a tragic incident in Southport, Merseyside, a heroic businessman, Jonathan Hayes, was stabbed in the leg while attempting to disarm a knifeman who attacked a children's dance workshop, resulting in two fatalities and multiple injuries, including six children in critical condition. Hayes, 63, intervened after hearing screams from his office and regretted not being able to do more to stop the 'ferocious' attack. A 17-year-old suspect, originally from Cardiff, has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder, with police stating the incident is not being treated as terror-related. Witnesses described the chaotic scene as adults, including two yoga teachers, tried to protect the children, with some sustaining critical injuries themselves. The attack occurred just before midday as approximately 25 children participated in a Taylor Swift-themed event. The community is left reeling from the violence, as local authorities continue their investigation.
