Is Reading London Stabbing A Terrorist Attack?
As at the time of filing this report the police are understood to be treating the incident as a random attack and are not sure who is responsible or the stabbing related in a way as a terrorist attack.
Thames Valley Police said they were “aware of an incident” in Forbury Gardens, a public park, and are cordoning off streets in the town.
Eye-witness accounts on social media have reported paramedics and police tending to wounded people in the park.
According to reports on social media suggest several air ambulances are at the scene.
Forbury Gardens is the site where Black Lives Matter protests have been taking place over recent weekends, though there is no suggestion that the incident is linked to any protests.
A 33-year-old Claire Gould who is a Freelance journalist living near the scene, revealed that she saw the emergency vehicles land on the nearby Kings Meadow as a police helicopter circled overhead.
She described hearing lots of sirens and said surrounding roads and a retail park had been cordoned off by officers.
According to an eyewitness who said that he thought the attacker was playing a game – then he saw blood.

1. Reading is not in London so it has nothing to do with Sadiq Khan
2. This stabbing happened hrs after the protests finished and the protesters went home
3. Nothing to indicate that this is linked to BLM other than the media reports. Nothing from police on the matter yet.— Maxine Nicholson (@LexiNicks) June 20, 2020
