Authorities said they did not believe the incident was terrorist-related so far.
Authorities said the girl needed treatment at the hospital, but it was not believed that her injuries were life-threatening. The woman is believed to have suffered minor injuries from the attack.
The stabbing comes during a wave of far-right riots that has been called the worst cases of civil disorder in more than a decade after three children were killed and eight others wounded in a stabbing spree in Southport, England.
On Saturday, King Charles III appealed for “mutual respect and understanding” in the wave of the anti-immigrant, far-right violence.
King Charles praised Prime Minister Keir Starmer and police officials who have worked to quell the violence around the country and facedown the violent protests.
