A 15-year-old boy has been arrested after police seized a 24-inch sword at a busy London train station.
The boy was detained at King’s Cross on Saturday.
Police said the suspect was removed from a train service, and that the sword had been concealed in a trouser leg.
In a tweet, the King’s Cross and St Pancras branch of British Transport Police said: “Officers were called to Kings Cross earlier and removed a 15 year old Male off a @GNRailUK service.
"This was concealed down his trouser leg. Arrested & currently being dealt with in custody.”
It comes days after 14-year-old Jayden Moodie was rammed off a moped, chased and stabbed at least seven times by three men in a “targeted attack” in Leyton.
Meanwhile, a man was arrested on suspicion of murder after the death of a woman who was found with a neck injury at a home in Poplar.
