A young female police officer has been left with 'life-changing' injuries after being stabbed in central London, police have revealed.
She was stabbed in the arm by a man in the Leicester Square area at round 6am this morning (Friday). A male officer was also stabbed three times in the neck and once in the chest, but 'should make a full recovery', Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said.
The officers spotted an armed man close to the theatre district this morning. He needed to be tasered to bring him to the ground, but the two officers were stabbed in the tussle.
