(BBC) Two members of the public have died and another three people were injured in a stabbing attack at London Bridge, the Met Police’s commissioner has said.
Cressida Dick told a press conference the stabbing attack, which has been declared a terrorist incident, began at an event at Fishmonger’s Hall.
Within five minutes of being called officers confronted the suspect — who was shot dead by police — she said.
The suspect was wearing what is thought to have been a hoax explosive device.
He was a former prisoner and convicted of a terrorist offence, sources have told the BBC.
