PC stabbed in head with machete in 'unprovoked and frenzied' attack

The officer, who is"fine" but"shaken up", has been commended for his bravery and is being treated for a stab wound to the side of his head, which required stitches, and an injured hand from fending off the attacker.As Mr Tucker was briefing the media at Forest Gate Police station, the van which officers had stopped was taken away on a flatbed truck for further forensic examination.

He added:"Enough is enough. Police officers should be going home at the end of their shifts. Not to hospital."Home Secretary Priti Patel tweeted:"Absolutely horrified by the shocking stabbing of one of our brave police officers in Leyton overnight. Police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the attack and there are no other reported injuries.Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said he is"utterly appalled by this sickening attack".

Mr Khan added:"This attack on a police officer, who showed tremendous bravery by continuing to defend others even whilst being attacked himself, is a reminder that our police risk their personal safety every time they go to work. They deserve our full support and gratitude."

The fact that your police officers aren’t armed is laughable

May this police officer get well very soon; and may the criminal who did this get the full dose of his just desserts.♥️

Such a sad read. This poor man didn’t kiss his family goodbye that morning with the intention of being stabbed. Outrageous. Things need to change. timeforchange ThinBlueLine respect

😔

Of course they are.... they've just seen a hugely traumatic event and are being looked after by their colleague/ friend. They are not immune from emotion. They need care and compassion equally to the rest if society

SayeedaWarsi The scumbag who did this is a 56yo called Muhammad. Where is your outrage? Islam is the greatest threat to our British way of life. BBCNews DailyMailUK When will you act patel4witham ?

All police should be armed And should be given more powers so the can do their job The scum needs to respect and fear Our laws We need a referendum on the death penalty for this and other horrendous crimes

Thank God he will be ok.

because it is a cover-up from the police and media - they are complicit in hiding the truth at what is happening.

It beggars believe that people are on here blaming SadiqKhan for the rise in crime, how the fuck can you fight crime if you don’t have the coppers, the Conservatives theresa_may BorisJohnson patel4witham are to blame for police cuts

Welcome to third world Britain

Very sad evil b should get life any attack on unarmed devices should be life

It’s time all police officers had guns to defend them selfs

The wilder we let people act the more Wilder people will become and it seems the harder the likes of cancel culture folk Eil make for the police to hit back. .

When are you lot going to wise up and carry side arms.

Who did it? 😡

And cue KTHopkins with another “Sadiq Khan’s Londonistan” tweet in three... two... one...

Arm the cops so these third world peasants can meet an early death.

Unbelievable - thoughts are with this police officer and his family. Not sure what the solution is but this needs to stop

Sorry, are we a third world nation now? How are people still allowed to run around shanking each other?

Mayor Khan RN

About time police just started shooting these sort of people

Step DOWN sadiq FAILURE

One day the authorities will wake up and smell the coffee and issue firearms to every serving police officer in this country. Until then this type of incident will never stop and it could’ve been far worse..

How's the cultural enrichment going?

How do you stab someone with a machete

patel4witham the death penalty ..no mercy!!! THEBISHOP

Thank goodness!!

Just plain awful, hope the vermin that did this gets an extremely harsh sentence

Is there a description of the attacker?

Phew. God speed
