Rather concerning reports emanating this morning. We await developments and hope for the best.

Police have declared a critical incident.

Suggestion that sadly a 15 year old has died and four others stabbed.

A man has now been arrested.

FFS. Not verified, but this is allegedly the perpetrator and his "knife".

So not a terrorist?

What awful news

Awful

My ole stomping ground. A lot of familiar photos on BBC News website. I used to live in Hazelbrouck Gardens that backed on to the underground station. Was a decent area 20 odd years ago.

Terrible News, my thoughts are with these poor people and hope they will be ok

This today and someone shot outside a kebab shop in the row of a shops by the station a couple of weeks ago.

The police always shoot the terrorist ones. They arrest the lone wolf/mentals.

Bears an unfortunate resemblance to Craig Clay.

Well that's cleared that up for me,obvious really

There's apparently a quite gruesome video doing the rounds on social media. I haven't seen it (and don't want to) but a member of staff her was sent it via Instagram (no I've no idea how that works) and didn't realise what it was until she opened it.

Can't quite get my head around why anyone would want to share a video of this nature but thought I'd warn you all in case.

Not seen it myself either, but believe it's of the 15 year old that was stabbed. Someone thought it was a good idea to post it on the local FB group.

What is wrong with this member of staff?
Surely an ex-member of staff soon.

Eh? He said a member of staff had been sent it, not that they were sharing it themselves.

Also, since when was there a new member of staff working on this board? I thought it was just Caca he had doing all the donkey work.

Now confirmed that a 13 year old boy has sadly died.

I can see PJ's replied already but she wasn't sending it - if anything she's been very upset since seeing it which is what prompted me to put the original post.

It's a bit off the point on this thread but it's an eye opener to me (as someone who's just entered their 50's and not up to date on social media) how much this stuff is shared. Both my kids of 17 and 24 have been sent this video particular video as well. Both have deleted it immediately.
