Warning – The following footage contains scenes some viewers may find distressing. A 14-year-old boy has died following multiple stabbings in east London as a sword-wielding suspect remains in custody after being tasered by police. Chief Superintendent Stuart Bell, of the Metropolitan Police, said five people were injured in the attack in Hainault.
Two Met officers suffered wounds that both require surgery, with Mr Bell describing their injuries as “significant” but not life-threatening, and injuries sustained by two members of the public are also not deemed to be life-threatening.
A neighbour from nearby Laing Close, James Fernando, 39, gives an eyewitness account of an incident.
