Police reveal new details on London school stabbing attack as suspect, 13, confirmed as ex-pupil
"He went up to a first floor classroom and sprayed a substance towards a pupil, who was not injured and the liquid is not thought to have been noxious. The suspect then stabbed a 13-year-old boy in the classroom, before running along a hallway and down a flight of stairs. He then stabbed a 12-year-old boy on the ground floor before fleeing the school."
"Police were called by a member of the public at approximately 4.15pm over concerns of a child who had been seen at a mosque in north-west London. Officers attended shortly after and arrested a 13-year-old boy on suspicion of attempted murder, and he remains in custody. At this point we do not believe the suspect to have any particular connection to that mosque, and at this stage we think that it may have been coincidental that he ended up in that area."
A 13-year-old former pupil entered Kingsbury High School at about 12.30pm, sprayed a non-noxious liquid towards a pupil and stabbed a 13-year-old boy in a first-floor classroom. The suspect ran along a hallway, down stairs, stabbed a 12-year-old boy on the ground floor and fled. Police were alerted later after a child was seen at a mosque in north-west London; officers arrested a 13-year-old on suspicion of attempted murder and he remains in custody. Counter-Terrorism Policing London has taken the lead because of initial concern over motive, but the attack is not being treated as terrorism and motives remain under review.
