Three people were killed and another three seriously injured when a man went on a stabbing spree in a park in the southern English town of Reading on Saturday, though police said they were not currently treating the incident as terrorism. A 25-year-old man from Reading was arrested on suspicion of murder, police said, adding that they were not searching for any more suspects. "This is not currently being treated as a terrorism incident, however officers are keeping an open mind as to the motivation for the incident and are being supported by colleagues from Counter Terrorism Policing South East." When everyone started running from the scene, the attacker ran from the park, Wort said. Last year the government downgraded the national terrorism threat level to "substantial," meaning an attack is likely, from "severe".
