British police have shot dead a man who had strapped a fake bomb to his body and stabbed a number of people in what they said was a "terrorism incident" in the London Bridge area of the capital.
A video posted on Twitter showed a group of about half a dozen men wrestling with someone on the ground on the sidewalk of the bridge. One of them backs away from the scene carrying a knife.
There was a heavy police presence and the area was sealed off as helicopters circled above. Several buildings were put on lockdown.
Al Jazeera's Catherine Stancl reports from London.
