Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted February 3, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 3, 2020 Updated at 3:57 p.m. ET In what London police are calling a "terrorist-related" incident, two people were stabbed in Streatham, a south London district on Sunday. A third person has minor injuries, believed to have been caused by glass following the discharge of the police firearm, according to a statement from Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Lucy D'Orsi. All three victims were taken to south London hospitals. One man is being treated for life-threatening injuries, one woman has injuries that are not life-threatening and another woman has minor injuries, police said. Armed officers shot a male suspect, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said a device was found strapped to the body of the suspect but officers were able to quickly establish it was a "hoax" device. "The incident was quickly declared as a terrorist incident and we believe it to be Islamist-related," D'Orsi said. The BBC reported the suspect was actively being surveilled by police at the time of the incident. An eyewitness told the UK's PA Media that a person appearing to be an undercover police officer chased the man, who was armed with a machete and wearing silver canisters on his chest.
