A 36-year-old man was tasered and arrested at the scene but has not yet been interviewed because of his injuries, the Met said. A neighbour from nearby Laing Close, who witnessed the attacks, told the PA news agency he could “not stop envisioning the boy’s face”. Another witness, who asked not to be named, told PA he heard shrieks and screams following the incident.

Other footage showed the suspect being chased by police as an officer is heard shouting “Lock your doors” as the sword-wielding man entered residential gardens. Footage seen by PA shows a man in a yellow jumper chasing after an ambulance while holding a sword as a body lies motionless on the ground.
