There was a further attack on a 77-year-old man, who has sustained injuries that are not life-threatening.<br />
Terry Flynn-Edwards, who runs the Divine hair studio opposite the scene of the attack, said a man from a dry cleaners had tried to stop the assault.

<p>Nick Gannon, 33, who lived two doors down from Thomas Mair – the man named locally as the suspected killer – knew him since he was 10 years old.<br />
“It’s shocking. He were a quiet guy, you would not think it of him. He would cut elderly people’s grass voluntarily. There were no reason to think he would be capable of something like this.”<br />
Gannon added: “He was friendly. If you said hello to him, he would say hello back. He was not aggressive or anything. He wasn’t frightening.”</p>
