Samantha Southey, who lives in the adjacent road from the incident, told reporters said the incident was frightening.

“I just heard a bit of commotion last night. The police knocked on the door and said they caught the person. It’s a little bit frightening. It’s getting a little too close to home,” she was quoted as saying.

Detective Superintendent Richard Vandenbergh said: “It appears this was an isolated incident confined to a single address.”

He also added that the Dagenham stabbing “is a truly shocking incident.”
