Cllr Gareth Roberts, Richmond Council leader, said: “There was a knife related incident in Queen’s Road Twickenham this morning. Unfortunately an unsubstantiated rumour that the perpetrator is at large is causing fear and distress. I have received assurances from Met Police Twickenham that this is not the case. All persons are accounted for.”
