A 14-year-old boy was killed in a sword attack while on his way to school in northeast London.
Four other people were injured and remain in hospital with non life-threatening injuries - two of them are police officers who are undergoing surgery.
Speaking at a press conference near the scene, Metropolitan Police Chief Superintendent Stuart Bell said: “You will be aware that a serious incident occurred here at this location this morning. Police and ambulance services were called and deployed to a number of casualties.
“It is with great sadness that I confirm one of those injured in the incident, a 14-year-old boy, has died from their injuries.
“He was taken to hospital after being stabbed and sadly died a short while after. The child’s family are being supported firstly by my local officers and now by some specialist officers.”
The media as of now are refusing to give the attacker's name out but you can pretty much bet it won't be Jones or Johnson and most likely be of the Middle Eastern persuasion.
