A number of people have been stabbed and a man has been shot dead by police in an attack at London Bridge.
The Met Police said it had declared the stabbing attack a “terrorist incident”.
The suspect, who died at the scene, was believed to have been wearing a hoax explosive device, police said.
A BBC reporter at the scene said he had seen a fight on the bridge, with several men attacking one man. Police then arrived quickly and a number of shots were fired at him, he said.
Footage has emerged on social media showing the apparent suspect appearing to be shot as he lay on the ground.
Another man in a suit and jacket could be seen running from him, having apparently retrieved a large knife.
Another video shows police officers aiming guns at a white lorry that jack-knifed across London Bridge.
British Transport Police said London Bridge station was currently closed and no trains would be stopping there.
Police have advised people near the scene to follow directions from officers on the ground.
