The attacker has been named as Sudesh Amman, who left prison only days ago and had previously been noted by police as having a “fascination with dying in the name of terrorism”.
The London mayor, Sadiq Khan, has said he is angry about the terror attack in Streatham, which he said, like the London Bridge attack in November, was “preventable and foreseeable”.
In the meantime, he said there are still police officers in Streatham where the attack took place and the high street remains closed, while police have confirmed the attack was an isolated incident and they are not looking for anyone else in relation to it.
The Met has asked for restraint when sharing pictures and video of the incidents on social media.
Please use common sense and restraint in circulating pictures and videos of the #Streatham incident, including images of the officers involved.
