SKYNEWS: KNIFE ATTACK On London Bridge AFTER Vehicle PLOWS Into Pedestrians

SKYNEWS: A car has reportedly mounted the pavement on London Bridge before a stabbing attack, according to witnesses.

Reuters reported a witness saying she had seen people with “apparent knife wounds” on London Bridge.

Witnesses said a white van veered off the road before hitting pedestrians.

Police have confirmed they are dealing with an incident and asked people to avoid the area.

Armed police have been seen at the scene and the bridge is closed in both directions.

Will Heaven was at the scene shortly afterwards and wrote on Twitter that he had seen casualties – one on the pavement and one on the edge of the road.

He told Sky News: “It was about 10.15pm I was in the back of an Uber cab driving over London Bridge…there was somebody down on the pavement with a small crowd around them clearly very concerned.

“It looked like someone had collapsed. We drove a bit further and noticed there was another person on the right hand side of the bridge who was also not on the pavement but in the road itself,.

“The penny dropped something quite serious was happening.

“Suddenly the traffic came to standstill. The driver said something bad is happening here.

“We could hear sirens coming and the suddenly ahead of us we noticed another casualty in the road.”

He added that “it did not look like an accident”, adding it was clear that police “thought they were responding to something far more serious than a road traffic accident”.
