Armed Police were called to the scene of what is being described as a ‘major incident’ on London Bridge, with people being evacuated from the area. Some reports say that it was a stabbing attack, while there were also initial accounts of there being one or more gunmen at the site.
A suspect is believed to have been shot multiple times by the police, and multiple people are said to be injured, as per a BBC report.
The incident reportedly began when a group of men attacked one man, and after this police arrived on the scene to control the situation.
In 2017, a similar attack had taken place when 3 Islamic terrorists rammed their vehicle onto pedestrians on London Bridge and then began to stab people. 11 deaths and 48 injuries were reported in that incident.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
