On Tuesday, police said a 31-year-old man, who is a British citizen and was initially detained in connection with the incident, was arrested on Monday.
He remains in hospital and his condition is not life-threatening, they added.
Detective Chief Superintendent Emma Bond, who leads policing for the area, said: 'Our thoughts are first and foremost with the family and friends of the victims of this tragic incident.
'Our investigation continues at pace and we are working hard to understand the full circumstances.
'I understand there may be concern in the local community and there will be an increased police presence in the area over the coming days.
'I would also encourage anyone who may be worried to speak to an officer.'

Speculation that the man was staying at the hotel is not accurate, the force said.

Former Arsenal footballer Thomas Partey granted bail on rape charges
Former Arsenal footballer Thomas Partey granted bail on rape charges The midfielder appeared in court on Tuesday having been charged with five counts of rape as well as a charge of sexual assault Partey leaves Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday morning Former Arsenal footballer Thomas Partey has been granted conditional bail after appearing in court on rape and sexual assault charges. The Ghanaian midfielder, 32, has been charged with five counts of rape against two women, as well as a charge of sexual assault against a third woman. The alleged offences took place between 2021 and 2022, when he was an Arsenal player. Partey stood with his arms behind his back in the dock at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, wearing a black zip-neck jumper. His bail conditions include that he cannot contact any of the three women and must notify police of any permanent changes of address or international travel. It comes amid reports that Partey is set to join Spanish club Villarreal. As bail conditions were discussed in court, Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring said: 'I understand he's no longer employed in this country and playing in Spain now.' Partey is due to appear at the Old Bailey on September 2. Article continues below He was charged four days after leaving Arsenal when his contract expired at the end of June. The Metropolitan Police said it first received reports of an allegation of rape in February 2022. Partey's lawyer Jenny Wiltshire previously said he 'denies all the charges against him', adding he welcomed 'the opportunity to finally clear his name'. After Partey was charged last month, Jaswant Narwal, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: 'The Crown Prosecution Service has today authorised the prosecution of Thomas Partey for multiple counts of rape – after carefully reviewing a comprehensive file of evidence. 'Our prosecutors have worked closely with officers in the Metropolitan Police who have carried out the investigation, to review the evidence and advise on the appropriate charges. 'We remind everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial. Article continues below 'We know there will be significant public interest in this announcement, but it is absolutely vital that there is no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.' Det Supt Andy Furphy, who is leading the investigation, said via the BBC: "Our priority remains providing support to the women who have come forward. "We would ask anyone who has been impacted by this case, or anyone who has information, to speak with our team. You can contact detectives about this investigation by emailing CIT@

Palestine Action protest to go ahead with more than 500 people, organisers say
Defend Our Juries said those taking part will hold 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action' signs on Saturday in central London as part of a campaign to end the proscription of Palestine Action. The group added that the protest would go ahead as planned after the 'conditional commitment requirement' was reached. The Metropolitan Police has warned that anyone found to be expressing support for Palestine Action 'can expect to be arrested' following the Government's decision to ban the organisation last month. Defend Our Juries has denied that the planned mass protest will try to overwhelm the police and justice system. People during a previous protest in Parliament Square, central London, in support of Palestine Action (Yui Mok/PA) A spokesperson said on Tuesday: 'Defend Our Juries has confirmed that 500+ people have committed to holding 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action' signs on Saturday in central London, as part of the Lift the Ban campaign, to end the proscription of Palestine Action. 'Since the threshold for the conditional commitment requirement has been reached, the action will go ahead as planned.' More than 200 people were arrested at a wave of protests across the UK in response to the proscription last month as part of the campaign co-ordinated by Defend Our Juries. Many of the protesters were detained after writing and holding up the message 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action' on placards or pieces of cardboard. A Met Police spokesperson said: 'We are aware that the organisers of Saturday's planned protest are encouraging hundreds of people turn out with the intention of placing a strain on the police and the wider criminal justice system. 'The Met is very experienced in dealing with large-scale protests, including where the protest activity crosses into criminality requiring arrests. 'While we will not go into the specific details of our plan, the public can be assured that we will have the resources and processes in place to respond to any eventuality. It is wrong to characterise this as a plan to overwhelm the police and court systems Defend Our Juries spokesperson 'Our officers will continue to apply the law in relation to Palestine Action as we have done since its proscription. 'Anyone showing support for the group can expect to be arrested.' A Defend Our Juries spokesperson previously said: 'It is wrong to characterise this (planned demonstration) as a plan to overwhelm the police and court systems. 'If we are allowed to protest peacefully and freely, then that is no bother to anyone.' The move to ban Palestine Action came after two Voyager aircraft were damaged at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire on June 20, an incident it subsequently claimed, which police said caused about £7 million worth of damage. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced plans to proscribe Palestine Action three days later, saying the vandalism of the planes was 'disgraceful' and the group had a 'long history of unacceptable criminal damage'. A High Court ruling on Wednesday decided that Palestine Action's co-founder Huda Ammori had several 'reasonably arguable' beliefs in her challenge over the group's ban that would be heard at a three-day hearing in November, but a bid to pause the ban temporarily was refused. The ban means that membership of, or support for, Palestine Action is now a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison, under the Terrorism Act 2000.
