Police added that paramedics treated the two women at the scene before sending them to a major trauma center.
The attack comes less than two weeks after a 17-year-old went on a stabbing spree at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class for young children in the U.K.
Three children were killed in the attack, while five more children and two adults were put in critical condition.
Authorities charged Axel Rudakubana for the attacks. He was born in Wales to Rwandan parents. The attack set off a storm of anti-immigrant sentiment across the U.K., resulting in violent clashes between anti-migrant groups, police and groups of migrants.
Rudakubana was seen smiling in his first court appearance after the attack. He is charged with the murders of Bebe King, 6, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9, as well as 10 counts of attempted murder for stabbing eight other children along with two adults who tried to help them.
Swift herself said she was "completely in shock" and still processing "the horror" of the attack in the days that followed.
"These were just little kids at a dance class," she wrote in an Instagram story. "I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families."
