A shopper was allegedly stabbed by a knife-wielding man at a shopping centre this afternoon.

The man in his 20s was attacked at about 2pm at Westfield in White City, West London, before police and paramedics were called and he was taken to hospital.

His condition is said to be non-life threatening, and police - who have arrested two men following the incident - insisted the attack was not terror related.
