Three people are dead in a stabbing incident in the English town of Reading on Saturday that is not being investigated as a terrorist attack, the Thames Valley Police said.
Three people were killed in the incident and another three sustained serious injuries, police said. A 25-year-old man from Reading was detained at the scene on suspicion of murder and police said they are not searching for another suspect.
Police asked that members of the public not to post images or videos of the incident on social media, but instead to report these to the police. Police also said there was no indication the incident was related to a Black Lives Matter protest that took place in Reading on Saturday.
One eyewitness gave an account to PA Media, describing a man who shouted before stabbing people.
"The park was pretty full, a lot of people sat around drinking with friends, when one lone person walked through, suddenly shouted some unintelligible words and went around a large group of around 10, trying to stab them," 20-year-old Lawrence Wort told PA Media.
"He stabbed three of them severely in the neck and under the arms, and then turned and started running towards me, and we turned and started running," Wort said.
The man stabbed another person in the back of the neck, Wort said, before running out of the park.

Gee, Wally, I wonder what he shouted.
“We are also aware that the incident was captured on mobile phones and would like to hear from anyone who has video footage... please do not circulate this footage on social media...”
Libyan stabber, per Daily Mail.
On another web page the stabber was from Lybia.

He was a Libyan asylum seeker..who screamed ALLAH AKBAR before stabbing people
Maybe that is why the police are so eager to keep the videos from being seen by the public.
Another sand digger?
It was a mostly peaceful terrorist incident.
The way you really know it has nothing to do with Islam is if he was yelling Allahu Akbar......../s
Boris said his “thoughts” were with the victims. What? No prayers? He’s a disappointment.
We'd hate for people to see what the perp looked like. We're trying as hard as we can to keep it quiet.
Those hot-blooded Anglo-Saxons getting all stabby again.
Morse wouldn’t want to see this era.
