Police added that paramedics treated both women at the scene before transporting them to a major trauma center.

The attack comes less than two weeks after a 17-year-old stabbed a child at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class for children in the UK.

Three children were killed in the attack, while five other children and two adults were left in critical condition.

Authorities have charged Axel Rudakubana, who was born in Wales to Rwandan parents, with the attacks. The attack sparked a storm of anti-immigrant sentiment across the UK, resulting in violent clashes between anti-migrant groups, police and migrant groups.

Swift herself said she was “completely in shock” and still processing “the horror” of the attack in the days that followed.
