Ataque em Londres

Um homem atacou com uma espada várias pessoas, incluindo agentes da polícia, em Hainault, nordeste de Londres, antes de ser detido, avança a AP.

Segundo as autoridades, o ataque não está a ser investigado como terrorismo.

A polícia diz ter sido chamada na manhã de terça-feira, após relatos de um veículo estar a ser conduzido na direção de uma casa numa rua residencial e de haver pessoas feridas na sequência de um esfaqueamento perto da estação de metro de Hainault.

Um homem de 36 anos foi detido no local. Dois dos feridos são agentes da polícia. Não se sabe qual é, nesta altura, o estado de saúde das vítimas.

Vídeos partilhados pela imprensa britânica mostram um homem a caminhar na rua segurando na mão aquilo que parece ser uma espada ou uma faca comprida.

Testemunhas no local dizem ter ouvido a polícia gritar ao suspeito que largasse a arma antes de o perseguirem.

As autoridades prometeram mais informações sobre o sucedido mas não acreditam que o ataque signifique que exista uma ameaça para a comunidade e não estão à procura de mais suspeitos. A estação de metro foi encerrada enquanto decorre a investigação policial.
