Eyewitness says London attacker carried machete, canisters
Gulled Bulhan, a 19-year-old student from Streatham, tells Britain’s Press Association that he witnessed the stabbing attack in south London.
“I was crossing the road when I saw a man with a machete and silver canisters on his chest being chased by what I assume was an undercover police officer – as they were in civilian clothing,” he says. “The man was then shot. I think I heard three gun shots but I can’t quite remember.
Bulhan says he ran into a local library to seek safety.
“From the library I saw a load of ambulances and armed police officers arrive on the scene,” he says.
London police confirm the suspect has been killed.
