Sword-wielding man held in east London after attacks
The 36-year-old man was arrested at the scene
London: A man with a sword was arrested in Hainault, east of London, after several people were attacked and injured, the Metropolitan Police said on Tuesday.
The force said it was called just before 7am (0600 GMT) after a vehicle drove into a house and reports that "people have been stabbed".
"At this time we understand the suspect went on to attack other members of the public and two police officers," a statement read.
"We are awaiting an update on the condition of those injured."
The Met, which polices an area of 1,605 square kilometres of Greater London, said a 36-year-old man was arrested at the scene.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan said: "This incident does not appear to be terror-related."
