A 14-year-old boy has died after several people were stabbed - including two police officers - in a car and sword attack in north-east London.
The boy was among five people treated at the scene in Hainault who were taken to hospital, where he died.
A 36-year-old man was arrested after being Tasered by police 22 minutes after they were called to the scene.
Eyewitnesses described seeing the suspect run through the area with a sword before he was Tasered.
At a press conference, the Metropolitan Police said the suspect was in hospital being treated for injuries sustained when a vehicle he was in drove into a wall.
His condition means he has not yet been interviewed, police added.
Assistant Commissioner Louisa Rolfe said their investigations had not discovered any previous contact between the man and the police.

Good thing nobody had a gun with which to defend themselves.
Somebody could have been. hurt.
I wonder why they haven’t released the suspect’s name.
With all due respect to Churchill and those who still believe in what he stood for, why should we in the US give a sh*t what those still in the nation we fought and won our independence from think? Socialism is just a replacement for a monarchy - but it's not much different. All the 'little people' being 'taken care of' by the 'superior' elites. Stupidity repeats itself.
Sudden Jihad Syndrome?

Car and sword attack. What the heck is that? Talk about a wonky headline. I can’t figure it out.
1st the perp deliberately (it appears) hit a pedestrian, severely injuring the victim. Then he killed the boy with the sword, then he slashed at least 2 of the police and another civilian, apparently nearly cutting off one female officer’s hand.

Definitely, the cops needed Indiana Jones on hand...
Better worded:
...then he used the sword to kill the boy, then...
Indiana Jones.
