INB4, "It's Islamic terrorism"
Sounds like this guy wasn't the sharpest, who uses a bread knife to stab people?

When bakers go bad?
Bit harsh, he was only trying to make a sandwich
There are pictures of the nutjob ... Makes it harder and harder to say "wait for evidence".

I originally heard two knives and now I've read on the metro and a few other places he had a backpack full of knives and was arrested as part of a stop and search in relation to an ongoing terror investigation.

So, it sounds like we've managed to prevent a real atrocity here. I'm sick of hearing 'suspext was known to police as a suspected terrorist but case was dropped', etc., good to hear this pig was stopped before he could make people suffer.

Kudos to the police and security services protecting is everyday from this kind of scum
oh no not another mad nutcase hijacking our religion again!!! :angry::frown:
Just watching Sky News. There is a photo of him with the police. Grinning idiot.
Lol why does he look so calm in the photo?

The police in this country are amazing. Who knows how many people this guy could have killed, I'm so grateful that the police have kept us safe once again.
Now now guys! Let's not jump to conclusions...

He could be Shia or Sunni, we don't know which. Until we find out, we cannot make unsubstantiated judgements!
No doubt we will have to wait until his religion is confirmed before the media decide on his mental health status.
looks like a Muslim to me, beard and knives.
