Leytonstone
Tube station 'terror attack': Police appeal for footage
A 56-year-old man was seriously wounded at Leytonstone in east
London at 19:06 GMT on Saturday.
The knifeman reportedly shouted "this
is for Syria".
A man, 29, was arrested on suspicion of
attempted murder and a residential address in London is being searched.
The 56-year-old is believed to be in a
stable condition in hospital. A second man received minor injuries in the
attack and a woman was threatened but unhurt.
Police used a Taser on the suspect, who
remains in police custody. The stabbing is being investigated by the
Metropolitan Police Service's counter terrorism officers.
British Transport Police said in the wake
of the attack it had increased its patrols and visibility around stations.
More uniformed and plain clothes officers
have also been deployed, supported by armed officers, CCTV cameras and police
dogs, it said.
I was attracted to this news story as the stabbing explained took place in London, which is locally to where I live. this therefore, means that the events that took place could have an effect on me and my life as well due to the reason that something like this can happen again and so it ives me a bit of a warning to be more careful when travelling. Moreover, the news story also links in with the events that have been happening around the world recently, and implies the tragic that has been taking place and to what extent people are going with their judgement, arguments and prejudice.
