"It will affect business here. I was speaking to a tourist who came in today - she told me that she didn't feel safe in Norwich."

Lesley Grahame, Green Party councillor for Thorpe Hamlet Ward, said: "My thoughts are with the victims, those who love them, and the devoted but overstretched NHS staff helping them towards the best possible recovery.

"It's time to rethink Prince of Wales Road to make the streets safer and also the wider culture that allows violence to be thought of as a way to get what you want."
