Cops have said a man in his 60s has been arrested for the crazed attack and is currently being held at a south-west London police station.

The alarm was raised by one of the victims who heroically managed to stagger to a nearby police station after being stabbed.

When police arrived they found three women suffering from stab wounds and a fourth with potentially life threatening injuries.

An air ambulance landed and rushed one of the injured women to hospital, while the other three were treated by paramedics.

A Sainsbury's employee said she saw one woman on the floor with paramedics around her.

Pictures show teams of officers and paramedics at the scene, with one chilling image apparently showing a bloodied jacket lying on the floor.

Ben Brady, 30, who owns Jen's Salon next door to where one of the victims was treated, said the first victim was stabbed by the pub before the attacker moved on to another area of the car park.

"She had no idea what was going on," he added.

Mr Brady said the man was "waving a knife" and then approached women as they were getting out of their cars.

"I went over to see if I could help the ladies and that's when the police came."

An eyewitness described the scene as "horrific" and said she saw the victims lying on the floor bleeding.

She told ITV London: "I could see bodies lying on the ground. There was an elderly lady just lying down beside the police station. I tried to help, she had the police there and paramedics.

"I could see this poor lady with blood coming out of all different parts of her body."

She said one of the victims was her neighbour, Janice, and added: "She was stabbed three times in the chest, back and arm."

A member of staff at the nearby Hampton Pub said the knife man was only targeting women in the unprovoked attack.

The woman, who did not want to be named, added: "It's so awful - four women have been stabbed in the car park. He only went for the women.

"The man ran through and started attacking them. It didn't seem like they knew him it was completely unprovoked.

"One lady is in very bad condition, she had to be air-ambulanced out.

"If it had been 10 or 20 minutes earlier there would have been children there because it's right outside a primary school.

"He was caught very quickly just outside the car park.

"He appeared to be out of it, on drugs or crazy. He must have been very angry to go out and unprovokedly stab those women.

"The woman who was badly stabbed in the back made it up to the police station and raised the alarm.

"She is well-known locally and always goes shopping there all the time."

A police cordon is still in place at the supermarket and outside the police station the brave victim hobbled to raise the alarm.

A member of staff at Tangley Park Children's Centre, which backs onto the scene of the stabbing, said: "We kept all the children safe and kept them in the building until we knew it was safe.

"It's just such a shock - our parents and children could have been walking to their cars at that time.

"Our sympathies go out to everyone who was hurt and we are really glad none of our families were involved."

Cops have said the use of a taser was threatened during the arrest but was not used, and they currently do not believe the attack to be terror related.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Officers attended and discovered three women suffering from knife wounds.

"The London Ambulance Service also attended and are providing treatment to the women. Their conditions are not thought to be life-threatening or changing at this time.

"A fourth woman who had also suffered knife wounds was subsequently located at a nearby property. She has been taken to hospital where her condition at this stage is thought to be life-threatening."

The spokesman added: "At this early stage, the incident is not believed to be terror-related."
