UK police named a 14-year-old boy killed in a sword attack in London this week as Daniel Anjorin, as officers released more details about how the violent rampage unfolded.

An undated handout photo released by Britain’s Metropolitan Police in London on May 1, 2024 shows 14-year-old murder victim Daniel Anjorin. 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin died on Tuesday after a man wielding a sword stabbed the youth, two police officers and two other people, in a street attack in east London, police said. Police said they arrested a 36-year-old man using Taser stun weapons and took him into custody. The incident is not believed to be terror-related, they said.

The independent school attended by Anjorin said in a statement Wednesday that they had been left in “profound shock and sorrow” at the pupil’s death. A 35-year-old man was then attacked inside a nearby property, causing lacerations to his arm, before Anjorin was killed. The suspect seriously injured two police officers, both of whom required surgery on Tuesday and remain in hospital.One, a woman, suffered severe injuries to her arm and nearly lost a hand, the Met said.
