A boy, 14, has died after a man with a sword went on a rampage near Hainault Tube station in northeast London. Two police officers also suffered significant injuries, with two other people taken to hospital. A 36-year-old has been arrested - he too is in hospital.

By Olive Enokido-Lineham, OSINT producerImages and videos circulating on social media show the attacker in four different locations before he was tasered in Hainault, east London. Sky News has mapped out the areas where the attacker was seen. Police say the incident was reported just before 7am this morning and it took 22 minutes from that moment until the suspect's arrest.

A vehicle, heavily damaged at the front, is seen in the car park behind the suspect, however it is unclear whether it was involved in the attack. A third video shows the attacker walking down New North Road and on to Franklyn Gardens holding the knife. Meanwhile a fourth video shows the attacker being pursued by police as he flees through a car park and down an alleyway before appearing on the roof of a garden building between Thurlow Gardens and Franklyn Gardens.
