Police rushed to Greek Street in Soho at around 4.30pm on Thursday and treated a man for stab wounds to the leg.

Onlooker Angela Dean, in her 50s, was queuing with her 14-year-old son.

She said “chaos erupted” as people attempted to jump the queue and she captured footage of the incident.

Angela, a full-time carer from Essex, London, told Sell Us Your Story: “Everyone was running and pushing – there was no crowd control.

“I had to run out of the queue to alert the bouncer at the club to what was happening.

“My child has been left deeply traumatised by what he witnessed.”

Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “Police are investigating the stabbing of a man in the centre of Soho.

“At 4.28pm on Thursday, 23 July, Met officers were called by the London Ambulance Service to Greek Street, Soho, following reports of a stabbing.

“At the scene, a man in his 30s was treated by paramedics and taken to hospital with a stab wound to the leg.

“His condition has since been confirmed as non-life-threatening and non-life-changing.

“There were no other reported injuries.
