Police have warned that a terror attack is "highly likely" to hit the UK after revealing they are treating a horrific stabbing in a Tube Station as a terrorist.

Metropolitan Police called on members of the public to remain calm despite shocking video and images being circulated on the internet showing a blood-soaked London Underground station.

One person is in a serious condition in hospital while another two suffered minor injuries following the attack at Leytonstone Underground Station this evening.

A knife-wielding man is said to have began attacking commuters as they left the station at around 7pm tonight.

WTH! I mean Blimey! No gun used, less than 4(?) and the MPD has already decided it's a terrorist event? WTH is wrong with these people? Just because the perp allegedly yelled "This is for Syria" doesn't make it a terrorist attack or have anything to do with moose-limbs. Not like he screamed allluh snackbar.

You some kind of nut or what?

You have to approve the script before we can judge for ourselves?
Or what?

A simple < /sarc > tag might have explained everything.

If they go after Piers Morgan, I shan’t give a crumpet.

He’s the expert on all things, after all.

Perhaps if they treated it as a workplace accident, the chances of further attacks would diminish.

Taking it a step further, it could be that if they treated it as an overdue library book, the problem would go away entirely, and, with it, any consequences.

No, no, no, no.
People obviously had trouble hearing the audio.

It’s clear that the guy was a Pastafarian, and upset that so much grain product was being used to make cereal foods instead of noodle products.

He was screaming, “This is for CEREAL!”

Back to work. Nothing to see here.

Oh, and......
