In what may be a coordinated knife attack, two people were injured when a man went on a stabbing spree in London. Hours later in Ghent, Belgium, two more people were injured when a woman stabbed two people. The two incidents are being treated as terrorism related. The terror stabbings could be connected.

At Streatham High Road in London, a man was seen with a large knife and had silver canisters around his neck. Police shot and killed him after he stabbed two people. A third person was injured from glass after the police discharged their weapons. One male is being treated for life-threatening injuries, one woman has non-life-threatening injuries. There was some concern over a possible suicide vest. It was determined to be a hoax device, according to Metro Police.
The street was closed off as police swarmed the area. Helicopters, armed officers and ambulances arrived. One person claimed that the man was shouting “allahu akbar” as he stabbed the two people.

When it’s a member of your family so close to you, you don’t expect it. You’re always worried about your family being on the streets but this is even worse.
“I heard two people got stabbed and apparently one man was shouting Allahu Akbar but people thought he was just a crazy man, so he got away. Apparently he had two rucksacks…” Richard Mustonen-Smith, 59, a response pastor for Ascension Trust to Daily Mail.
Police stated that the incident was being classed as terror-related due to the man being under “active surveillance” as an Islamist. Police response to the incident was rapid – along with the undercover officers present, according to Breitbart.
