The Metropolitan police said a 14-year-old boy was killed in a sword attack in Hainault, east London. Five others were injured, including three members of the public and two officers. The Met said the officers sustained wounds that required surgery, while the injuries sustained by two members of the public were not deemed to be life-threatening.
A 36-year-old suspect was arrested 22 minutes after the first call to emergency services, the Met said, after officers fired a stun gun at him. The force confirmed the incident was not terrorism-related

Let the cover up begin, lefty media will somehow blame the "far right wing"
So sorry to hear this
My condolences to his family
Khan's lawless London. Get him out!!!!!
That poor boy x
I’m so sorry 💔
Hate Crime.
The UK better be glad they have strict gun control laws. This most likely would have been far worse if they didn't. 😔
This boom in criminality in Britain is a result of private prisons. When prisons profit from criminality, they will never try to reduce it. When they profit from being full, they will never increase their capacity.
I'm so sorry, little man! My heart breaks for your family! What a cowardly attack! 😢
This is not normal
At least THE MAN didn't tweet anything.
Phew!
They say diversity is our strength
the act of terror was to let the problem into the country in the first place ,the very act was an act of terror!
That is unfortunate.
Who is he? What is his name?
Sounds like a family dispute.
Rip little man,🙏❤ to the family and those close.
Madness
❤❤❤❤❤❤
khan out. Gun & Knife crime has soared under his "leadership"
"a 14-year-old boy was killed in a sword attack in Hainault, east London. Five others were injured, including three members of the public and two officers" – This WAS absolutely domestic terrorism.
defend yourself, with illegal guns?
Im not going to make any wild unfounded prejudiced statements about who was responsible for this attack or their motives. Im going to be rational and wait for the official information to come to light. In the meantime regardless of the circumstances my deepest condolences to the victims family and friends for this tragic, violent and senseless end to a young mans life. A full recovery to the injured, and may the guilty party be fully punished according to the law.
Surely he's in jail and they threw away the key
Defo terror related
Honestly it wont be long until we all live like the third world immigrants that come here. British people used to be like – I'm off out, let me make sure I have my wallet, watch and a raincoat ( just in case)
Now – British people are like – I'm of out , let me make sure I have my wallet, watch, Kevlar vest , samurai sword and a back up spray bottle of acid.
Shows how society has been changed in Britain in the last 30 years – since the borders were opened.
If he would be black or arabic, we would be hearing civilizational war rhetoric from racists.
Too bad somebody didn't have a gun. This could have been stopped quickly, just like the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
But Sadiq Khan says that he’s made London a safer place. 🤥
The stabbing death of a young boy in London serves as a stark indictment of the city's leadership. The glaring failure of the mayor and police commissioner to address the ongoing threats posed by criminals and supporters of terrorist organizations like Hamas is utterly reprehensible. Their blatant disregard for public safety is not only alarming but also disgraceful. It's abundantly clear that their incompetence and lack of action have allowed lawlessness to flourish on the streets of London. As an American closely observing the situation, I am deeply troubled by the direction in which the city is headed under their weak and ineffective leadership.
Let the british people own and carry pistols for defense
Third world city now is London VOTE FOR REFORM UK 🇬🇧

What's happening there? It is unthinkable. They should start fighting gangs and illegal immigrants – zero tolerance. This could be even more serious problem in the future.
Understand what happened. You do that.
All the cops there but it was young black lady cop that went in and grabbed the sword. It appeared most of the cops were scared to approach after they tased him. My condolences to the family of the young boy murdered.
Why don't the police give his name?
Another piece of evidence that shows how this country is going down the drain…
The attacker has been named as Marcos Aurelio Arduini MONZO. What a fine old English name.
Terrorism is horrific
??…???
This is a product of your great dustbin I mean Britain all stand and sing your national anthem with passion on a 1 2 3 ……… 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Money should be given to everyone if crime is stopped
WERE ARE THE POLICE HIDING AGAIN
