LONDON: British police on Sunday shot dead a man in London wearing a “hoax device” and suspected of stabbing two people, leaving one of them with life-threatening injuries, in an “Islamist-related” terrorist incident.
Sunday’s events in Streatham, a largely residential neighbourhood in the capital, came just over two months after a convicted terrorist on early release from prison was shot dead by police on London Bridge after he stabbed two people to death. The Met said a device was found strapped to the suspect’s body and, after cordons were put in place, “it was quickly established that this was a hoax device”.
A second woman received minor injuries, believed to have been caused by glass following the discharge of the police firearm.“My thoughts are with the injured and all those affected,” he said. Unverified footage posted to social media purporting to capture some of the incident showed armed police officers surrounding a man lying on the ground on Streatham High Road.
“I didn’t realise at the time I would be swept up in a terrorist incident. I thought this was someone who had shoplifted or people larking around,” he added.
