London (CNN) Two people were killed and a number of others injured in a terrorist attack in central London, the London Metropolitan Police said. A man with a hoax device strapped to him has been shot dead by police officers. "Two of those injured in this attack in the London Bridge area have tragically lost their lives," the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick said in a news conference on Friday. Officers have not commented further on the motive for the attack near London Bridge, but Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu told a press conference on Friday afternoon that they were enhancing patrols in the area and across the city in response. The incident comes more than two years after eight people were killed and dozens more wounded in a terror attack at London Bridge.
