Leytonstone Tube station 'terror attack': Police appeal for footage
I found this story on the main page of the BBC news website. It is not stated who it was written by however, it talks about the recent incident that took place in Leytonstone Tube station.
The news article explains how:
Police investigating a "terrorist incident" at an east London Tube station have urged witnesses who filmed the stabbing to share their footage with detectives.
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.
