The alleged aggressor was under police surveillance after leaving prison recently after serving a conviction for terrorism, according to the BBC.** **London** Metropolitan PoliceHe killed a man who would have stabbed at least two people this Sunday in Streatham, in the south of the British capital. A third would have been injured by crystals during the shooting. Scotland Yard has initiated the investigation of the event under the premise that it is a "terrorist incident" and that it is related to "Islamism." One of the wounded, a man, is serious and the authorities fear for his life. The other two, two women, are not in danger, but one has been admitted. In addition, in a statement released tonight, the police force has reported that the man had a false explosive device attached to the body. According to the BBC, Streatham is a neighborhood in the London borough of Lambeth located about eight kilometers south of Charing Cross, one of the most important stations in the British capital. The metropolitan police have shot down the alleged perpetrator of the attack at around 2 pm local time (3 pm in peninsular Spain). "The event is completely controlled. We will give more information when possible," he said. Agents have cordoned off the attack area, Streatham High Road, the main shopping street of a busy district south of the Thames. Several witnesses to the event cited by the BBC have claimed that they heard three shots around two in the afternoon (local time). Others have told Sky News that the attacker was carrying a machete and what looked like silver-colored cylinders around his chest. Streatham High Road remains closed at this time of night in both directions due to the investigations being carried out by security forces. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, thanked the emergency services for their work: "Thanks to the emergency services for responding to the incident in Streatham, which the police have declared terrorist. My thoughts are on the injured and affected. " The mayor of the city, Sadiq Khan, has also reacted to the attack, who has written a statement that he has spread on his social networks: "The terrorists seek to divide us and destroy our way of life. In London we will never let them get it."
