London Bridge terror attack: Police fatally shoot a man wearing fake explosive device who stabbed 2 people to deathLondon's Metropolitan police said Friday that an officer shot and killed a man wearing a fake explosive device following a stabbing incident near London Bridge that left two people dead.
It was not immediately clear if incidents were related. Police spokeswoman Marije Kuiper told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that it was not clear if the stabbing in The Hague was a terror incident. Video posted on social media showed several people wrestling with a man wielding a knife at one end of the busy bridge that links the city's business district with the south bank of the River Thames.Basu said there were concerns the man, who was not identified, might be wearing explosives, but that police"believe a device strapped to the body of the suspect is a hoax explosive device.
The mayor commended the “breathtaking heroism” of the members of public who intervened in the incident, running toward the suspect and pinning him down. "Police then quickly arrived, including armed police, and then a number of shots were fired at this man," McManus said.
