A critical incident has been declared in London following reports of several people being stabbed. The Metropolitan Police says one man has been arrested in connection with the incident this morning .
“Working together with our emergency services partners, we treated five people on the scene and took all five to hospital.“I want to thank the emergency services for their response to the horrific incident in my constituency this morning, particularly the heroic Metropolitan Police officers who put themselves in harm’s way to protect others. They are the best of us.
"I looked out the back window because the noise was coming from back there, I saw a bloke dressed in yellow jumping over some fences … then he went down an alley like he was going back onto the street again. I saw a policeman and policewoman – normal coppers with the short-sleeved shirts – who chased after him and they were shouting for him to put it down.
“The police officers and emergency services showed the best of our city - running towards danger to protect others and I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
