Police attended what an eye-witness described as a “knife incident” outside the Tesco Express on Wanstead High Street at 4pm on Tuesday.
The witness, a Wansteadium reader, said the police had “several ruffians in handcuffs” and that there were several police cars in attendance.

Ruffians
I’m sense a pee take, lol
It seems to be happening more often these days.
Caught a W12 from the stop opposite ten minutes beforehand. Didn’t see anything untoward.
Me neither Dave – I think Wansteadium posts are not to be trusted.
I saw one ‘ruffian’ being handcuffed outside Tesco. No sign of any others.
It looked to me like one of those characters who normally sit outside the shop begging.
It’s a sad state of affairs that Wanstead is now not only full of ruffians but scallywags, ne’er-do-wells, rapscallions, blighters and rowdy reprobates!
If I see any of them I shall head for the nearest Police Box and call a Constable!
I was absolutely nowhere near this spot about that same time and saw absolutely nothing – glad they caught them – this is getting reported more and more and more
