UK counter-terrorist police treat attempted murder as ‘terrorist incident’

British counter terrorism police said on Sunday they were investigating an attempted murder that “has hallmarks of a terror event, inspired by the far-right”, Euronews reports.

Counter Terrorism Police South East said it was investigating a stabbing of a 19-year-old man on Saturday evening in Stanwell, in the south of England, after reports of a man shouting racist comments while carrying a baseball bat and a knife.

A 50-year-old man has been arrested.
