London's police chief says two officers remain hospitalized a day after suffering “horrifically serious” injuries as they rushed to stop a sword-wielding attacker on a suburban street

Two London police officers remained hospitalized on Wednesday, a day after suffering “horrifically serious” injuries as they rushed to stop a sword-wielding attacker on a suburban street, the city’s police chief said. Details about the attack emerged a day before London voters go to the polls in local elections where crime and the performance of the capital’s police force are major issues.

A female officer faces “a long journey of recovery” after surgeons spent hours “basically putting her arm back together,” he said. Rowley didn’t contradict press reports that the officer nearly lost her hand. “That’s not a million miles away,” he said. “I mean it’s really horrifically serious injuries.” Rowley said officers arrived on the scene 12 minutes after receiving the first call and the suspect was detained 10 minutes later, Rowley said.
