It sounds a bit worse that that to me...
Really? Says one person arrested. That certainly doesn't sound like a gang of terrorists getting stabby or anything like that but who knows? Everything will be clearer in the morning. All you're gonna get now is rumours and conjecture until the met confirm it craigjm said:

The Met police said 'Police are on the scene and are dealing with a major incident in Seven Sisters Road' and 'Police were called just after 0020hrs 18 June to reports of a vehicle in collision with pedestrians.Officers are on scene with other emergency services.
There are a number of casualties being worked on at the scene.'
Sounds like more than someone who has a had a few Stella's, and then attempted to drive home from the pub...

Sounds like a terrorist attack. Just because it's a white lunatic and the victims are Muslim doesn't make it less of a terrorist incident.
The Borough Market terrorist attack was a 'serious incident' for many hours at first so I'm not sure why people on social media are jumping on the wording of this incident in particular. The reporting is no different at this stage.ukaskew said:

Yep, fair point. There is no doubt, whether it is an accident or an attack, that is is serious incident. ukaskew said:

The reporting is no different at this stage.You're right about Borough Market/London Bridge. Manchester was also initially declared a "serious incident" as this Reuters link apparently confirms: Link
