London #UPDATE: Six people dead in addition to three attackers, police confirm

AT least six people have been killed and as many as 20 injured after terrorists mowed down pedestrians on London Bridge and then went on a stabbing rampage.

A van was seen ploughing into pedestrians at London Bridge and eyewitnesses reported gunfire and stabbings. Three terrorists — reportedly wearing stab proof vests — emerged from the van and began the stabbing attack.

Scotland Yard they are still trying to determine if there are more suspects at large, amid reports SAS troops had been flown into London to hunt for the suspects.

The three terrorists, wearing “suicide vests”, were gunned down by police in dramatic scenes at Borough Market.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed the incidents at London Bridge and also at Borough Market were terror attacks. A third stabbing at Vauxhall was initially feared to be part of the attack but police now believe this is unrelated.

One horrified witness had told The Sun he was left covered in blood after a man stormed a restaurant and slashed diners.

Jag Sandue was at the Black and Blue steak restaurant when he said he saw several men storm in, armed with knives.
