A Penneys store in the Midlands was forced to close this evening after a violent row between a number of women broke out in front of horrified shoppers.

It's understood two women attacked another female inside Penneys at Longford Shopping Centre shortly after 3pm on Wednesday.

One of the women is understood to have been injured and a knife was also believed to have been recovered at the scene.

The incident prompted management to close the shop with its shutters being pulled down shortly afterwards.
