BREAKING: UK police say they are now treating stabbings that killed three people in Reading, west of London, as a terrorist attack.
Police stand guard at the Abbey gateway of Forbury Gardens park in Reading town centre following Saturday's stabbing attack in the gardens, Sunday June 21, 2020. Thames Valley Police said a 25-year-old man from the town has been arrested and they are not looking for anyone else.
Detectives said they were not, for now, treating Saturday’s attack in the town of Reading as terrorism, though the counterterrorism unit is supporting the investigation. They said they were keeping an “open mind” about the motive. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said his “thoughts are with all of those affected by the appalling incident in Reading.”
