BBC reports:
A woman has died and five others were injured in a knife attack in Russell Square, central London.
Police and ambulance crews were called at 22:33 BST on Wednesday to reports of a man in possession of a knife and injuring people.
Up to six injured people were found at the scene; one woman was pronounced dead a short time later.
The man was arrested at 22:39; a taser was discharged by one of the arresting officers.
Terrorism is one possible motive being explored, the Metropolitan Police say.
Ilford was a great place 40 or 50 years ago, loads of jews lived there. its a dangeous place, full of gd knows what, and getting worse by the second. dangeous place. ex ilford girl.
OK, this is more than likely looking at a mentally ill young man. It is NOT (the police say) terrorist linked. Unfortunately one 60 year old American woman was killed and five others injured. Also unfortunately one Israeli injured, one Australian, One American and British.
BH the Metropolitan Police are very active in our area, I have just concluded a meeting with them re increased vigilance and patrols around Shul davening times. They are very active and appreciated by us all.
what is this world coming too?
I would not be surprised if the perpetrator, turned out to be a follower of the “religion of peace”.
