Police investigating whether Hainault attack suspect had 'history of mental ill-health'
The Guardian’s crime correspondent, Vikram Dodd, understands that police were investigating whether the suspect in the Hainault attack had a history of mental ill-health, and that at this early stage, that was a key line of inquiry as to any motive.
The Metropolitan police have only officially confirmed that a 36-year-old man is in custody and that the incident is not thought to be terror-related.
Sky News’ home correspondent Rachael Venables has been reporting from the scene in Hainault and has described a local community traumatised by the attack this morning.
“It’s a really traumatising moment for the local people,” Venables said.
“You can see people stood outside their doors filming the local area as well, speaking, really seeking reassurance while on their own local WhatsApp groups.
“And they speak to neighbours and friends and family trying to work out what happened this morning and whether anyone they know was affected and even injured in this awful attack.”
