“We Simply Don’t Have Deterrents!” Peter Bleksley On Hainault Sword Rampage

A 14-year-old boy has died following multiple stabbings in east London as a sword-wielding suspect remains in custody after being tasered and arrested on suspicion of murder.

Chief Superintendent Stuart Bell, of the Metropolitan Police, said four other people were injured in the attack in Hainault, while Assistant Commissioner Louisa Rolfe said the suspect is in hospital after sustaining injuries when his van hit a house.

Two Met officers suffered wounds that require surgery, with Mr Bell describing their injuries as “significant” but not life-threatening, and injuries sustained by two members of the public are also not deemed to be life-threatening.

The officer said he did not believe it was a targeted attack, and it is not believed to be terror-related.

A 36-year-old man was tasered and arrested at the scene but has not yet been interviewed because of his injuries, the Met said.

Talk’s Jeremy Kyle is joined by former Met Police detective Peter Bleksley to discuss the latest.
