A young female police officer is being treated for potentially life-changing injuries after she was stabbed while tackling a knifeman. A male officer was also knifed three times in the neck and once in the chest during the attack in the Leicester Square in London.
Doctors are hopeful he will make a full recovery, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has said. The pair spotted the armed man close near the theatre district earlier today (September 16), according to the Mirror.
He was tasered and wrestled to the ground, however the two officers both sustained stab wounds during the struggle. A video of the incident shows one officer having his bloodied arm wrapped in a bandage by colleagues.
