“It was a sword. We were so scared. We thought he was going kill everyone,” one woman told the Sun. “The first thing I thought was it was terrorism.”
Police say they have already ruled out terrorism as a motive.
“I turned around and there was a man in the doorway shouting with a large machete in his hand and a man staggering in front of him with lots of blood running down his face,” another witness told BBC.
The attack comes days after a man wielding an ax or hammer chased terrified shoppers in a London Tesco in an incident captured on CCTV.
