Matt said two of his employees bravely ran out to try and defend girls being stabbed outside.
He said: "The attackers ran off down the street and on to Stoney Street, where they just continued to wreak havoc."
Some cordons remain in place in the market - but most have now been lifted as it begins to return to normal.

Dean Andrew Nunn said he rushed from his nearby home after hearing something had happened at London Bridge to open the Cathedral as "a place of refuge" last Saturday.
He said: ";I got as far as I could but was turned back by very heavily armed police who shoved me back and told me to run, run.
"I have to say I was scared, terrified really, I had never experienced anything like that and never thought I would.
"You always think it's going to happen somewhere else and then all of a sudden it happens where you are."
