Off duty police have done all they can to help during this evening’s horrific ‘attack’ in London.
So far two incidents are being treated as terrorism related. An earlier incident at Vauxhall is being treated as an unrelated stabbing.
As of yet, at least one fatality has been confirmed by Metropolitan Police whereas other witnesses have claimed that there have been attacks.
Lewisham Police have already tweeted that their off duty officers are on the scene:
