Three dead in stabbing incident in Reading, England

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.

Yes, and we mustn’t jump to conclusions about his motive. Lone wolf, disturbed, and all that BS.

Yep. Too many White people are fools.
Nothing is wrong with the land in Africa.
Just as nothing is wrong with the buildings and books in American inner city schools.

A Libyan. Who’da thunk it.

On Daily mail the murder of 3 people by a Muslim was below 5 TDS articles about the Tulsa Rally/AG Barr.

Their priorities are in the right place. /s

They want to make sure the race of the attacker is not revealed.

You can be sure if it were a white that did the stabbing, the police would be asking for video and the perp's photo would already be plastered all over the international news.

“Shouted”....”something untimtelligble”.

Gee, what M.O. is that?

The British didn’t talk that way in 1940. How times have changed.

They would not have been locked up in 1940 for protecting each other.

They don’t want folks to know it was either an Amish or a religious Jew.

Open season on the West. Just line those pelts up on a fence
and collect your $0.50 per...

Don’t worry about insurance. You’ve been indemnified by the
ruling elites.

Don’t post videos, please...

Another witness that spoke on condition of remaining anonymus said it sounded like the attacker was screaming “Are you a Clark Bar”

the police would be asking for video

They are asking for videos - see post 5 above.

It's routine for UK police to ask for videos of a crime scene not to be posted on social media, as widespread circulation could be used by the defence in the future trial to claim jury prejudice. The legal rules on this are strict in the UK.
