Pria yang ditangkap, terdengar berteriak 'Ini Untuk Suriah' dalam serangan tikaman di Stasiun LONDON

A man was arrested Saturday after allegedly stabbing and seriously injuring one commuter while being heard shouting "this is for Syria" inside a London tube station, Sky News reports.

Police later said the attack, which occurred in the Leytonstone tube station in East London, was being investgated as a "terrorist incident".

A Twitter user posted video (graphic content warning) obtained by The Evening Standard of the immediate aftermath of the attack, which shows a pool of blood and the suspect being shot with a tazer gun by police.

"Police were called at 7:06 p.m. GMT (2:06 p.m. Eastern)... the male suspect was reportedly threatening other people with a knife," a spokesman for Scotland Yard, London's regional police force, told Sky News. The spokesman said the suspect was taken into minutes later.



The commuter who was seriously injured was slashed in the throat area by a machete. Sky News reported that bystanders heard the man shout "this is for Syria" during the attack.

Two other people sustained minor injuries in the attack

The suspect reportedly began attacking exiting commuters in the Leytonstone station's main entrance area when the victim was stabbed in their neck.

"We are treating this as a terrorist incident. I would urge the public to remain calm, but alert and vigilant," Commander Richard Walton, leader of the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command, said.

"The threat from terrorism remains at 'severe', which means a terrorist attack is highly likely," Walton said.
