Two boys aged 12 and 13 were stabbed at a London school; a 13-year-old pupil arrested as counter-terrorism officers investigate the incident.
Two boys aged 12 and 13 were stabbed during a science lesson at Kingsbury High School in north-west London. A 13-year-old former pupil was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after allegedly climbing over a wall and entering the classroom. Both victims were taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition, and counter-terrorism police are investigating the incident, described as an 'American-style' stabbing.
Authorities say the motive is still under review as investigators from the counter-terrorism unit examine the circumstances surrounding the attack. The case is being treated as a serious incident, with officers leading the inquiry and gathering evidence from the school.
Officials have not disclosed further details as investigators press ahead with the inquiry.
