Oblasti so izdale odredbo, ki omogoča policistom, da lahko na cesti ustavijo in preiščejo kogar koli. Eden izmed prebivalcev, ki je videl žrtve med begom, je dejal: »Videl sem štiri otroke v trenirkah, ki tečejo. Eden se je obrnil, da me je pogledal, vendar so tekli. Sprva sem mislil, da so se samo igrali, a potem sem slišal krike.«
Kot so priče povedale za britanski The Mirror, je bilo napadalcev okoli 20. Kri je bila menda vsepovsod. Gre za najhujše nasilje v Londonu po novoletnem večeru, ko so umrli štirje moški.
I’m desperately saddened to hear of the death of two young Londoners last night. I am asking the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary to urgently meet with me to discuss how we can work together to tackle the evil of knife attacks on Britain’s streets. https://t.co/qVRQ6HKS4F pic.twitter.com/QuxmMM5Pyc
