Stabbing in London Tube Station Investigated as ‘Terrorist Incident'

Officials are investigating what they say may be a possible “terrorist incident” in a London underground station, where two people were stabbed Saturday evening by a 29-year-old man, NBC News reported.

The victims were stabbed at Leytonstone underground station by a male suspect, police said. Officers used a Taser stun gun on the suspect, who was reportedly threatening other people with a knife, they said.

Officials haven’t determined a motive, but said they’re treating it as a “terrorist incident” and not a terror attack. They're urging the public to remain calm, but alert and vigilant.

Police originally said three people were injured, but reduced that number to two. None of the victims were thought to have sustained life-threatening injuries, according to police.
