Rod Liddle: UK Correspondent on the stabbing in London's Leicester Square

Published: Aug. 12, 2024, 10:27 p.m.

A man has been arrested after a stabbing in London's Leicester Square that's left an 11-year-old girl needing hospital treatment, and a 34-year-old woman with minor injuries.\xa0

Police aren't treating the incident as terror-related.\xa0

UK police forces remain on high alert after days of riots earlier this month, which were triggered by online posts wrongly identifying a suspected killer of three girls in northern England as an Islamist migrant.\xa0

UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that immediately after the attack, the right came online saying that it\u2019s happened again and that they\u2019re up to no good.\xa0

He said that there\u2019s no evidence whatsoever that the attacker was Muslim, however there is a fair bit of evidence that the person who stopped the attack and took the knife off of him was.\xa0
