London police say three people were wounded during a "terrorism-related" stabbing attack and one victim's injuries are life-threatening.
Officers shot and killed a suspect in the Sunday afternoon attack in the Streatham neighborhood of south London. The violence there marked a departure from recent attacks in the British capital that took place near high-profile landmarks in central London.
Witnesses reported seeing the man wearing what looked like a suicide vest. One told Sky News he saw undercover police officers chasing a man down the neighborhood's main commercial street and yelling at him to stop.
London police wrote on Twitter that a man shot in connection to a stabbing incident in the south of the British capital city has now been pronounced dead.
Police have confirmed the that scene of the crime has now been "fully contained."
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 says witnesses reported hearing two gunshots just after 2 p.m. on Sunday.
