3 Killed, 2 Injured in UK's Reading Stabbing Terror Incident

Three people were killed and two others were critically injured in a stabbing incident in the southern English town of Reading on Saturday evening, according to some British media reports.

The police forces rushed to the scene and are currently investigating the incident. Some reports said that the police have arrested a man who is suspected to be behind the incident.

The stabbings took place at the site of Black Lives Matter protest in the town earlier in the day.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said his "thoughts are with all of those affected by the appalling incident in Reading".

"My thanks to the emergency services on the scene," he added.

Video footage posted on Twitter showed paramedics rushing to help at least three people who were bleeding on the ground in a park.

The National Police Chiefs’ Council described it as a “serious incident.”

“A number of people sustained injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment,” The Thames Valley Police said in statement.

Witnesses reported seeing two air ambulances fly in and land at a public park in the centre of the city of around 220,000.
