UK Mirror, reported that a woman is dead
and up to six people have been left injured following a knife incident in
central London.
A suspect was
Tasered by police and arrested in the incident in Russell Square that began
shortly before 10.30pm on Wednesday night.
The
Metropolitan Police said up to six people were found injured and a woman was
treated at the scene before being pronounced dead a short time later.
It is
understood terrorism is one possibility being explored by police at this stage.
Footage shot by
witness Jeremy Cheng showed a large presence of emergency services on the
scene. Ambulances were
arriving with police cars lining the street.
Mr Cheng, a
22-year-old student, added: "There was a body lying on the pavement on the
eastern edge of the square, and all the roads to the south and west of the
square have been cordoned off.
"A woman with whom I spoke said that police
told her that a gang of some sort was involved – and that they fled south or
south west.
"But that is just speculation."
It is not known at this
stage what condition the
other persons injured in the incident are in or the nature of their injuries.
God help us all!!
