Several people have been injured in an act of violence near the Hainault underground station in London, several media write.
According to witness statements to The Telegraph should it be a man who “runs around with a samurai sword”. The same witness believes that the man must have first crashed a van into a house and then stabbed four people.
The police state that two of the injured are police officers. The injury status of all victims is unclear.
“This must have been a terrifying event for those concerned,” says the police’s Ade Adelekan in a statement.
At the moment, the police cannot see anything that points to the crime being terror-related.
The station and an area nearby have been cordoned off and the man, who is 36 years old, has been arrested. According to the police, the situation is under control.
