LONDON _ Armed British police rushed to London Bridge late Saturday after reports of a vehicle running down pedestrians and people being stabbed nearby. The Metropolitan Police said they were called just after 10 p.m. to reports of a vehicle hitting pedestrians on the bridge, which crosses the River Thames in central London. About two hours after the first reports of an incident, television images showed people walking away from the London Bridge area with their hands on their heads. Multiple witnesses reported a vehicle veering off the road and hitting several pedestrians; others also said they saw a man with a knife. “We saw injured people on the road, injured people on the pavement,” he told Sky News.
