London’s Metropolitan Police reported the arrest of a man following a stabbing incident involving an 11-year-old girl and a 34-year-old woman in central London. The attack took place in Leicester Square, a popular tourist destination. The two victims were promptly taken to a hospital, although the severity of their injuries has not been confirmed.
This alarming incident comes amidst a tense atmosphere in Britain, following a series of violent events in the past week. Demonstrators expressing anti-immigrant and Islamophobic sentiments have clashed with law enforcement in various instances. The unrest appears to have been exacerbated by misinformation circulating on social media regarding a knife attack that tragically claimed the lives of three girls during a Taylor Swift-themed dance event.
