'I thank God I wasn't there - 30 seconds more and I may be dead' Witness saw bleeding woman fighting for her life in the #Russell Square 'terror attack' aftermath

One woman has died and five people have been injured after a suspected terrorist went on a mass stabbing spree in central London.

A witness, who gave his name as Michael, said he saw who he believes was the victim bleeding from her back while a friend who had also been stabbed was comforting her.

He was yards away from the incident at about 10.30pm on Wednesday and said although his thoughts were with the victim, he felt very lucky not to have been killed.

'I thank God I wasn't there - 30 seconds more and I may be dead,' he said.

'I heard a scream, and then we went to the park and I saw a girl lying on the floor with blood coming from her back. Another girl had blood on her arm.'

The two women were with two men who were shouting 'tío lo vi todo' in Spanish, meaning 'I saw everything'.

The witness added: 'They all spoke Spanish so I guess they were a group. I only saw the victim and the girl with the arm stabbed from that group

'I just saw blood just next to her. She was lying on the floor with a friend hugging her.'

Michael said the victim, who he believes was the woman who later died, was slumped up against the metal fence opposite the Imperial Hotel in Russell Square.

He said: 'I was a block behind when I heard the scream, then we speed up to see what happened and they were there, the attacker was missing.

'It happened on the sidewalk

'The victim was lying on the metal fence.

'A friend was hugging her so she won't fall.

'I'm pretty sure that she was the murdered, since everybody was panicking and she was just there.'

The woman who was helping the stabbed victim had been injured herself.

Describing the wound of the second woman, he said: 'It was a small circle I remember

'In the middle of the wrist and the elbow

'It was really small.'
