The capital’s security force said two police officers were stabbed to death in central London on Friday and that the city’s Queen Elizabeth II had been stabbed to death. She said she ruled out the possibility of acts of terrorism because she focused on Elizabeth’s farewell.
“At around 6:00 am (2000 GMT), police encountered a man with a knife in the Leicester Square area,” the security force said.
“Two police officers were injured and are being treated at the hospital. The attacker was detained,” the statement said.
“A stun gun was used and the man was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injuries and assaulting an emergency room worker,” Metropolitan Police said.
“The attacker was taken to the hospital for treatment and is currently staying here.”
“The circumstances of the incident are being investigated, but it is not considered terrorism-related,” the police said.
The attack caused thousands of people to march in Westminster Hall to Queen Elizabeth II. It took place in a busy area, a relatively short distance from where Elizabeth was waiting to visit the hall where her coffin was located. The police statement has nothing to do with the funeral.
“The attack on police officers in Soho is absolutely brutal,” London Mayor Sadiq Khan said in a statement. Said.
“Our cops are in danger to protect everyone and keep us safe. We owe them a great debt of gratitude,” he added.
