Sword-wielding man causes chaos in London
A sword-wielding man caused chaos in London on April 30, 2024, leaving at least five people injured and one teenager dead. The incident occurred in the Hainault area of east London around 7 a.m., according to multiple sources including CBS News, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and BBC.
The man was first reported to have driven a vehicle into a house before attacking members of the public and two police officers with a sword. A teenage boy died from his injuries after being taken to the hospital. At least four other people were also injured in the attack, including two police officers whose injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
The suspect, a 36-year-old man, was arrested at the scene and taken into custody for questioning. The Metropolitan Police confirmed that they do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the wider community and that the incident does not appear to be terrorism related.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan expressed his condolences for those affected by the attack, stating, “The police officers and emergency services showed the best of our city — running towards danger to protect others and I thank them from the bottom of my heart.”
This is a developing story and more information will be provided as it becomes available.
