LONDON, UK. (THECOUNT) — An unknown man, seen at the scene of a multi-stabbing Friday afternoon on the London Bridge, was caught on video discarding something he apparently retrieved from his coat pocket. The man was exiting the immediate scene while holding a large knife.

An unknown number of people were injured in the stabbing incident at London Bridge which ended with the suspect being neutralized by police gunfire.

The London Ambulance Service said a number of crews were at the scene and a major incident had been declared.

“Police were called at 1:58 p.m. to a stabbing at premises near to London Bridge,” the force said.

Images and video on social media show emergency vehicles on the bridge, and onlookers reported hearing what sounded like gunshots at the scene, reports ABCActionNews.

Jinnat Ui Hasan told CNN he was in a meeting in a building near the incident when he heard “more than five” gunshots.

Elsewhere, Steve Beer, 26, told CNN that his place of work which overlooks the bridge was in lockdown.

Police earlier told CNN it was dealing with a “dynamic situation.”
