A terrorist knifed at least six people in Russell Square, the site of a previous terror bombing in 2005.  Police have raised a tent over the body of a woman killed by the suspect.  Police tasered a suspect at the scene and took him into custody.  Police have not ruled out other suspects and are searching the area for clues.

Police confirmed a man was arrested after he was seen 'brandishing a knife' and 'injuring people' in front of horrified onlookers in Russell Square last night. Pictured: Police at the scene

A police van remains parked in the road outside the Imperial Hotel in Russell Square in the early hours of this morning following the incident which could be 'terror-related', police say

From The Daily Mail Online:

One witness said he heard the victim scream before running over to help them.

The man, who goes by the name Michael, told MailOnline that he saw a woman around 25 years old with blood coming from her back and another woman of the same age with a wounded arm.

He said he believed the victims were heard speaking in Spanish.

He said: ‘I heard a scream, and then we went to the park and I saw a girl lying on the floor with blood coming from her back. Another girl had blood on her arm.’

The two women were with two men who were shouting ‘tío lo vi todo’ in Spanish, meaning ‘I saw everything’.

The witness added: ‘They all spoke Spanish so I guess they were a group. I only saw the victim and the girl with the arm stabbed from that group

‘I just saw blood just next to her. She was lying on the floor with a friend hugging her.’

A 35-year-old man, who did not wish to be named, said he saw three men fleeing nearby Queen Square shortly after the incident. ‘One man fled on a motorcycle heading down a pedestrianised area,’ he said. ‘He obviously looked in a hurry.’

Police are not releasing any other details at this time.
