It’s believed the attacker was stopped by a lone sergeant who charged at him after being alerted to the chaos

AdvertisementA police source told the newspaper: ‘It appears the attack was stopped when a lone sergeant, who responded when the alarm was raised, ran to the scene, saw the attacker running away with a knife and rugby tackled him to the ground.’

He tried to give chase as people fled the park but was felled by the unnamed police sergeant who intervened before back-up arrived. ‘There can be no doubt that the swift response of our Thames Valley Police colleagues saved further harm from being caused and potentially more lives from being lost. ‘While the investigation into this incident continues, what we can say is the public can rightly be proud of their emergency services today.’

But he rugby tackeled him, he should be jailed!! This is racist!!

But the police are the enemy according to a couple of thousand twats in london over the last few weeks.....

MAXIMUM RESPECT FOR THE THIN BLUE LINE

Our pics officers are amazing

The label hero is given far too easily.

Imagine if the knife penetrated the offender in the non approved take down.

Yet barely a mention of this on the BBC

I’m expecting BLM to make a complaint to the IPCC about use of excessive force & racial targeting by the police now!!!

I, and many others, who work or have worked in the mental health field, have had to do this sort of thing on a fairly regular basis. We’re not heroes, it goes with the job!!

People should remember this when they bleat 'defund the police.'

Reading stabbings: Police to upgrade investigation to terror statusThe investigation into an knife attack in Reading yesterday that killed three will shortly be upgraded to a terror investigation, The Telegraph understands. I'm appalled that Boris Johnson hasn't been evicted from office yet.....he works for the UN depopulationists, not the British people... Then why isn’t he doing something to stop the protests? Lack of police action, particularly on anti- white hate, is giving encouragement to that hate Sounds peaceful
