//Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says he is being kept updated about developments//

Is there any suggestion that it's terrorist related. I wonder why the PM is being kept informed?

[choux]

I hope he is interested! I cannot find mention elsewhere yet of terrorism, naomi. What is this country coming to?

[naomi24]

We'll have to wait for further news.

[choux]

GBNews covering it now. Police have just said "not terrorism related".

[naomi24]

It all sounds very confusing.

04:10, rather a strange time for such incidents to have taken place.

[choux]

Someone's phone video appears to show 3 police officers "attending" to a male on the road close to a van which has dented panels. One officer appears to have a taser in his hand.

[choux]

New eye witness on the BBC live link is a female van driver who witnessed the van hitting a man and a woman. She says the van was being followed by police. She will carry that memory for the rest of her life, no doubt.

[choux]

Another witness claims to have seen 2 of the victims stabbed by a single person. All credit to the police for arresting the suspect alive.

[choux]

Allegedly, 2 stab victims were students and the 3rd a man in his 60's.
The Grad Ball has been cancelled.
The police continue to appear to make extensive examinations/enquiries.

Only 14 posts (15 with this one). Are we not doing 'the usual dance'?

many are out at that time at parties concerts leaving late .just people living their lives, unfortunately these two young lads lost their's through the fault of immigration not doing their jobs properly

[Zacs-Master]

You’re appear to be assuming he was known to immigration authorities.

I cannot find mention elsewhere yet of terrorism, naomi.
Hi chowks !
Mega death, they said, and counter terrorism is automatically involved. Mega seems to be more than one

BUT automatic this and that, read the oral testimony over the Arena on automatic classifications and the harm that can result (police and fire service go into a huddle, wont let anyone in, including medical staff ( 'too dangerous') and the patients bleed to death)

[Peter Pedant]

there was a lady eyewitness of er mature years.... christ what was SHE doing on the streets at 0400 ?

Trying to run down the helpers reminds me of Nice - (98 dead I think)
