The Daily Star said a witness on Twitter suggested a female "cyclist was stabbed in the back," as well as another person, but that is an unofficial report and has yet to be confirmed by authorities.
Others have said a man stabbed the cyclist with "a knife grabbed from a restaurant and police shot him" and the man fell to the ground.
Here's a video that appears to show the knife-wielding man on the ground after being shot by a police officer.
