London police shoot man dead after two injured in Streatham stabbing; treating it as terror-related incident, say cops

London’s Metropolitan Police said it is investigating a terror-related incident after “a number of people” were stabbed and officers shot a man dead Sunday. The police force said the incident occurred in the London’s Streatham neighborhood. The Metropolitan Police tweeted details of the incident on Sunday afternoon, saying “The circumstances are being assessed; the incident has been declared as terrorist-related.” The BBC said that witnesses reported hearing two gunshots just after 2 pm on Sunday.

Social media showed multiple ambulances on the scene and helicopters in the air as helicopters responded to the incident.

 Police warned people to stay out of the south London neighborhood.

Gulled Bulhan, a 19-year-old student from Streatham, told Britain’s Press Association that he witnessed the attack. “I was crossing the road when I saw a man with a machete and silver canisters on his chest being chased by what I assume was an undercover police officer - as they were in civilian clothing,″ he said. “The man was then shot. I think I heard three gun shots but I can’t quite remember. Bulhan said he ran into a local library to seek safety. “From the library I saw a load of ambulances and armed police officers arrive on the scene,” he said. The Prime Minister has expressed his concern for those injured in the terror-related incident in south-east London. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson tweeted: “Thank you to all emergency services responding to the incident in Streatham, which the police have now declared as terrorism-related.”
