Silent Witness star OK after scissor attack in London

British actress Liz Carr has thanked fans for their support after she was attacked by a scissors-wielding maniac outside London’s Euston station.
The Silent Witness star was left scared but “relatively unscathed” after last week’s (10Aug17) incident.
“Thanks to everyone who has sent their love and good wishes following last week’s stabbing,” Carr says. “Just to reassure you that whilst it was very frightening at the time, I came out of it relatively unscathed and was even back home later that night.
“(I’m) looking forward to returning to filming on Silent Witness next week, where thankfully all the violence is fake!”
The 45-year-old, who uses a wheelchair, suffered minor cuts in the attack. She and her personal assistant were hospitalised.
A Scotland Yard spokesperson has confirmed the attacker, a man in his 20s, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of grievous bodily harm (GBH).
“He was taken into custody at a north London police station and subsequently detained under the Mental Health Act,” the police source tells the BBC.
