Footage shows sword-wielding man in London after attack on members of public and officers
A “critical incident” has been declared in north-east London, an MP for the area said, amid reports of several people being stabbed at a Tube station.
A 36-year-old man wielding a sword has been arrested after an attack on members of the public and two police officers, the Metropolitan Police said. Police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the Hainault stabbings and do not believe it to be terror-related, Scotland Yard said.
In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said: “Police and other emergency services are in Hainault, east London, at a serious incident in which a man with a sword has been arrested.
“We were called shortly before 7am to reports of a vehicle being driven into a house in the Thurlow Gardens area. There were reports people have been stabbed.
