London fortifies bridges to protect pedestrians from attack


Commuters saw uniformed police officers at Tube stations around London, an unusual sight for a city where officers are less visible on the streets than in other major global cities. London police on Sunday evening said commuters could expect to see more officers on the streets and more physical measures on bridges, after at least three men killed seven people at London Bridge on Saturday. That followed a similar attack in March on Westminster Bridge, near the Houses of Parliament. London mayor Sadiq Khan had told residents not to be “alarmed” at the increased police presence, drawing criticism from President Donald Trump.
