Eyewitness Ronnie Chopra told MailOnline he was shopping nearby with his young daughter.
He said: "Whilst we were leaving we saw the blood on the floor and my daughter unknowingly walked through the blood.

"And Harrods, no less, which is probably the most well known department store in the world."
