Authorities have said that the incident is not being treated as terrorism-related LONDON: A man is in critical condition after being stabbed during a reported fight on Westminster Bridge in central London, the Metropolitan Police confirmed on Sunday. Emergency services, including the London Ambulance Service and an air ambulance, were called to the scene at about 10:45 UK time and an injured man was rushed to hospital for treatment. A London London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called today (Sunday) at 10.46 a.m. to reports of an incident on Westminster Bridge, SW1. “We sent a number of resources including ambulance crews, an advanced paramedic, an incident response officer and London’s air ambulance. “We treated a man at the scene before taking him to hospital,” they added. Three individuals have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, while a fourth has been detained for affray, the BBC reported. Two of the arrested suspects sustained minor facial injuries and were also taken to hospital, according to police. Authorities have said that the incident is not being treated as terrorism-related. In March 2017, Briton Khalid Masood drove a car into pedestrians who were walking on the pavement along Westminster Bridge and Bridge Street, injuring more than 50 people, four of them fatally, before killing an unarmed police officer in the grounds of the Palace of Westminster. He was then shot by an armed police officer, and died at the scene.
