Two people were stabbed at a tattoo studio near Canterbury Cathedral on Monday afternoon. Armed police and paramedics responded swiftly to GothInk Studio on Lower Bridge Street after the incident was reported.
The emergency response involved two air ambulances and two land ambulances, with Kent Police sealing off the area to manage the scene.
Detectives from the Kent and Essex Major Crime Team arrived at the studio later in the evening to conduct a detailed investigation. Blue and green tarpaulins were placed over the front windows as officers worked to understand the circumstances surrounding the attack.
The incident occurred just yards from the iconic Canterbury Cathedral, causing concern in the heart of the city.
On a local Canterbury resident page, a claim surfaced that a man had killed his girlfriend before attempting to take his own life. However, police have not confirmed any arrests or the exact details of the case at this time.
Officers were observed placing oxygen cylinders, emergency first aid kits, and drug supplies from the South East Coast Ambulance Service outside the studio as part of their ongoing investigation.
Kent Police issued a statement saying: “We are currently attending premises in Lower Bridge Street, Canterbury, following a report of two people found with injuries. Officers and the South East Coast Ambulance Service were called to the scene at around 5.20pm on Monday 11 April 2022. The road remains closed between St George’s roundabout and Burgate while enquiries continue to establish the circumstances of the incident.”
