One woman has been killed and up to six people have been seriously injured after a suspected terrorist with a knife reportedly attacked people in the busy area of Bloomsbury in Central London.



The incident is believed to have taken place just before 10:30pm on Wednesday night. Police were called to the scene and tasered one individual before making an arrest of a 19-year-old man.



Initial speculation suggested “gang violence” was responsible, but the Metropolitan Police have now said that terrorism is being investigated as a motive.



Eyewitnesses reported major road blocks for hours, as well as a body and/or a body bag lying on the pavement.



The attack comes on the same day the Met Police announced 600 extra, armed police officers for London and just days after the head of London’s police said that an attack on the British capital was a matter of “when, not if”.
