Met Police have responded to three violent incidents around south London, and have called for a manhunt for three suspects.

Civilians have been told to seek safety, while ambulance and armed squads have been called to the affected areas.

Prime minister Theresa May was returning to Downing Street to receive further briefings from security officials.

The Sunday Telegraph reports that sources within the government have told it that the attacks “appear to be” terror-related.

Police initially erected a 500 meter cordon around London Bridge, where a van first hit pedestrians, before three men jumped out, according to witnesses, and have since extended it.

Police have confirmed three incidents: a “vehicle in collision with pedestrians” on London Bridge, just after 10 pm local times, followed by reports of stabbings in nearby Borough Market, and an as yet unconfirmed attack at Vauhxall, located to miles to the southwest.
