The Met police said in a statement: "On Friday, 16 September at around 06:00hrs Police encountered a male with a knife in the area of Leicester Square."We await further updates on their conditions.
"Taser was deployed and male was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and assaulting an emergency worker. "He was taken to a hospital for treatment where he remains at this time. Enquiries into the circumstances surrounding the incident are ongoing."
Sounds like a couple of the architects are to blame again.
Spat on, sworn at, assaulted and now stabbed, then let down by the judges and CPS with lenient sentences! Who would really want to be a copper !
Wat do you think lbc I'd like to know just genuinely asking
I remember when the drug trade began to takeoever and the violence spread. Police have to face against organised and armed gangs. They didn't stand a chance. They had no support, underfunded. Police recruitment was low. They throw themselves into possible death. Respect their job
Here's a wild idea.... They could've just used a gun...
Bring back firearms for LEOs.
In view of all the knife crimes that are happening in this country , is it about time that much tougher and harder prison sentences are brought in ,rather than the pathetic sentences we have now .
Climate change has a lot to answer for😡
MarchersMedia MayorofLondon Stands with Stabbers . Those Damn facist, Stasi, dirtying that Stabbers knife with their blood . The knife man, loved his Mum, was a good boy . Blah, blah, blah . Probably, aspiring rapper, footballer . 👍🤫🤫
Was the attacker white? If so, he’d never have been stopped and searched, would he?
UKLabour_Innit When can we expect the parents to be on TV to apologise for these stabbings?
Diane Abbott on scene yet ?
Religion of peace or aspiring footballer/rap artist?
Y’all might think it is wild but can we start talking about arming all police officers
I am your dictator listen to me me me
He'd misheard and thought the Queen was lying in steak, and was coming to help
There are so many low key racist comments under LBC. Damn, you Brits really are racist as hell.
It's really time to provide every single police officer in UK with a fixed handgun like almost all countries in the world. In another country the criminal would have been killed on the spot
Remove SadiqKhan and his soft on crime policies immediately. Forcibly if necessary, before more people are needlessly killed.
Londoners enjoy your shithole city
Does this mean the knifeman will get suspended, and his fellow violent criminals will threaten to hand-in their knives in protest?
Brace yourselves, this is only going to get worse.
This I'd why they need arming. 1 shot is all it needs to disarm the fugitive. Minimum force necessary. It will stop all the 'badboys' . Bring respect back to the police force
UKLabour_Innit Where's khan now what has he got to say
Holbornlolz So their stick and whistle didn’t protect them?
Holbornlolz Probably non kneelers
I'm struggling to understand why Sadiq Khan wasn't there, in his Batman costume, helping the police? This is clearly all his fault.
“It’s coz the youth club closed”
Imported BARBARIANS and BARBARIAN offspring.
Description of the immigrants involved?
I I. No
Mostly peaceful
You don’t really hear about knife crime so I’m really surprised by this . Hope it doesn’t get out of control .
Holbornlolz Lots of feral garbage out last night looking to take advantage of the police being diverted to other matters. Something is going to kick off.
ElspethMacpher7 Wonder if there will be people on the street supported by Labour mps
Holbornlolz Probably hesitant to shoot following the lack of support from their bosses, charities and the media following recent events. Mind
Has Sadiq Khan suspended the officers?
Holbornlolz I wonder if the knife man was a promising foootballer, pillar of the community or just a lovely person..?
Holbornlolz Has HackneyAbbott tweeted her support, solidarity and sympathy for these Policemen yet?
Holbornlolz Just after their command threw one of their armed colleagues under the bus. Hope the officers make a full recovery
Holbornlolz Thoughts with them and their families. Search these people. Use Bayestheorem to set quotas monthly and avoid criticism of racism.
London's dreadful mayor might just blame the long summer days, school holidays and the heatwave. Maybe not. Maybe the nights drawing in, kids at school and cooler weather.
London is a pure shithole enjoy it Londoners
will members of parliament turn out for a protest?
Holbornlolz Shame they weren’t armed …oh.. maybe not .. hope they’re ok .
I wonder who he was is khan going to say anything
Dreadful news. Hope they're not too badly injured.
Holbornlolz So they went to a knife fight with nothing
francessmith I’m sure SadiqKhan will express his horror won’t he?
Holbornlolz Mayor Khan will have them suspended by tomorrow
metpoliceuk SadiqKhan will probably just suspend the officers as that’s what they do right?
Holbornlolz Thanks to MayorofLondon our London is not safe for Police .
Holbornlolz Description? .
