Seis personas murieron el sábado por la noche cuando tres hombres atropellaron a unos transeúntes y luego salieron a acuchillar a la gente en una zona de bares de Londres, antes de caer abatidos por la policía.
Se ignora si los atropellamientos y los ataques con cuchillo fueron obra de la misma persona o personas, pero la policía aclaró que el tercer ataque del que habló un poco antes, en Vauxhall, ya lejos de London Bridge, no guardó relación.
Se trataría del segundo atentado en el Reino Unido en apenas dos semanas, tras el que dejó 22 muertos en Mánchester el 22 de mayo, en un concierto de Ariana Grande.
