One dead, five injured in central London knife attack

One woman was killed and up to six other people were injured in a stabbing attack in central London, and a male suspect was arrested, Reuters reported late Thursday.


A man was arrested at the scene — Russell Square, which lies in the heart of the city — after officers hit him with a Taser, according to AFP reports.

"Terrorism is one possibility being explored at this stage," the city's Metropolitan Police said in a statement.
