In east London, a tragic incident unfolded around 7 a.m. where a car crashed into a house in the Thurlow Gardens area of Hainault. The Metropolitan Police were swiftly notified about a “serious incident” involving the vehicle collision and reports of multiple stabbings. According to authorities, a 14-year-old boy tragically lost his life in what appears to be an unprovoked attack.

 

The assailant, who has been arrested, reportedly wielded a sword and targeted members of the public along with two police officers. Although the police have not disclosed any potential motives behind the attack, they have reassured the public that terrorism is not suspected.

 

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan expressed empathy for the affected community, acknowledging the shock and concern rippling through it. While the investigation is ongoing, authorities have emphasized that there’s no imminent threat to the broader community and they are not actively seeking additional suspects.

 

As more details emerge from the investigation, the police are expected to provide further updates on the tragic stabbings.
