On 29 July 2024, a mass stabbing targeting children occurred at a dance studio in Southport, Merseyside, United Kingdom. Three children were killed, and 10 other people – eight of whom were children – were injured, some of them severely. Axel Rudakubana, a 17-year-old British citizen born in Cardiff to Rwandan parents, was arrested at the scene, and has been charged with three counts of murder, ten counts of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article.
The attack took place at a Taylor Swift–themed yoga and dance workshop which was being held at the Hart Space, a community studio in the Meols Cop area of Southport. Twenty-five children were in attendance. The attacker stabbed a total of eleven children – three fatally – and two adults. All three fatalities were girls, two of whom died at the scene, while the third died in hospital the following day. Five of the eight injured children and both injured adults were in critical condition following the stabbing.
A motive for the attack has not been identified, although UK police stated they were not treating it as terror-related. On 30 July, the police disclosed the suspect's identity despite them being a minor in an attempt to counter speculation.
The stabbings sparked racially-fuelled riots in various towns and cities.
