Police statement: Boy dies in hospital after Hainault sword attack

A sword-wielding attacker has left five people in hospital, including two police officers.
Police said they were called to the “terrifying incident” near Hainault Tube station in north-east London shortly before 7am amid reports that a man brandishing a large blade was attacking members of the public.
A witness described seeing a man “running around with a samurai sword” who “stabbed four people after crashing his van into a house”.
A 36-year-old man was arrested. The incident does not appear to be terror-related, police said.
Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, said he was “absolutely devastated” by the attack, while Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister, said “such violence has no place on our streets”.

[@laythhassan6881]

“Not linked to any act of terrorism”. Because it’s a IC1 male the excuse will be mental health. If this was a male from any other ethnic group, firearm officers would’ve probably been deployed earlier. The specialist firearm unit only arrived once the male was tasered. This also gives me the impression that they wanted other response officers to deal with the incident prior to their arrival. This is because they don’t have enough grounds to take a shot and not trained enough to be in situations like this. There should’ve been a quicker reaction from the police team, firearm officers should’ve been first on scene.

Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
