Three killed, two critically injured in stabbing incident in southern England
At least three people were killed and two critically injured in a serious stabbing incident late Saturday in central Reading, southern England, local police confirmed.

Police said they had taken several casualties to the Royal Berkshire Hospital. A hospital spokeswoman confirmed that two of them were in critical condition in the emergency department.

Earlier, local police said a man was arrested at the scene and is now in custody.
British Home Secretary Priti Patel tweeted, saying she was “deeply concerned … My thoughts are with everyone involved, including police and emergency responders at the scene.”
Forbury Gardens is about 100 meters from the town’s train station and is opposite Reading Crown Court.
A large part of central Reading has been cordoned off by police on Saturday night in what has been described as a “major incident”.
Witnesses claimed on Twitter that several people had been stabbed in the park and footages appeared to show several people being treated for injuries.
There have also been images of multiple air ambulances posted as they landed in nearby Kings Meadow.

“We are aware of reports of an incident in Forbury Gardens, Reading,” Thames Valley Police said in a statement. “Officers are on the scene and investigating the incident.”
A Black Lives Matter protest took place in the park earlier in the day but several local residents claimed on Twitter that it had ended two hours before the incident.

Gun control sure worked out well for us in the UK didn’t it? Now they are going after all knives…then what? Cricket bats, bricks, table legs, metal pipe? Bad people are going to do bad things no matter what.
Guns can be dangerous in the wrong hands certainly but seems like outlawing them made law abiding people easier targets for bad people. When I lived in the USA knowing that many people were legally armed gave me a feeling of safety. It is not those legally armed that are committing crimes it is those will black market guns that commit most gun crime.
The gun control dummies will point to mass shootings in the US but ignore the daily body count in places, like the London, where the murder rate is higher than in most US cities.
You see, the gun control dummies are just fine if murders happen one or two at a time. They only have outrage for the occasional mass killing. They are not very smart.
So the recent pre-meditated MURDER of several innocent people in an English park is labelled as a ‘stabbing incident’ instead of what it is – another TERRORIST ATTACK by a disgruntled MUSLIM migrant (this time from Libya).
What was the reason behind this ATROCIOUS attack ? The accommodation provided for this bastard was not ‘five star’ ? Or perhaps he didn’t receive enough free CASH from the English taxpayers ? Maybe he couldn’t get any ‘halal pussy’ and went bonkers ?
Now that Great Britain is leaving the E.U., perhaps it’s about time that some good old-fashioned British justice is meted out to such criminals.
The sentence delivered to Guy Fawkes would be quite appropriate : to be hanged, drawn and quartered.
Any other migrants with similar ideas might then have second thoughts before committing murder, especially in such a random way.
The idea of having their genitals cut off and burnt before their eyes – yet alone being hanged and quartered (whilst still alive) – would most likely convince these migrants that they would have been better off staying where they came from.
