City of London Police officers and the London Ambulance Service (LAS) paramedics attended the scene in Bishopsgate, near Liverpool Street Station, on Thursday morning.
A spokeswoman for the force said the attack was being treated as a suspected robbery and was not being treated as terror-related.
LAS said crews treated four people, three who were taken to hospital and one who was discharged.
Speaking to GB News, a witness said: "Walking up from The Royal Exchange to Bishopsgate in the City of London this morning, I was confronted by about five or six ambulances, paramedics and numerous police cars.
"Two large screens closed off about four or five what looked like City workers injured on the ground. It appears to be some kind of stabbing relating to a bike theft."
