A man has been arrested following reports that a woman had her throat slit at a shopping centre car park in Kent.

Police have cordoned off part of the Dockside outlet centre in Chatham following the serious assault, reported to have been a domestic incident.

Witnesses described shouting at the scene and a man "covered in blood" being arrested, reports Kent Online.

A man who did not want to be named added: "We came out of the gym and the place was sealed off. We have heard someone has been stabbed."

Ash Tucker posted on Facebook: "Just pulling into Dockside Chatham, 10 police cars race past with flashing lights, as I've locked the door I hear shouting and commotion.

"The next bay opposite to me there's a man covered in blood being restrained by officers. He's cut a lady's throat as she sits in her car and he doesn't even look phased."

A Kent Police spokesperson said: "Officers were called at 11.03am on Thursday 29 June 2017 following reports a woman had been injured.

"A man has been arrested at the scene in connection with the incident. Officers do not believe there to be any further threat to the public.
