One resident said they thought people in the house were just "messing about" - until they heard "screaming and shouting".
They said: "At around 6pm a lady has come out of the balcony – she’s screaming ‘I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe.’
"They've been stabbed in the chest and the head.
"Suddenly someone has come out and the other person has run into our neighbour’s house. He was on a rampage.
