UK police charge man over "terrorist incident" at London metro station
British detectives have charged a man with attempted murder after a knife attack at an east London metro station on Saturday night which was described by police as a terrorist incident.
Police said 29-year-old Muhaydin Mire of east London would appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court later on Monday.
One man suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries in the attack at Leytonstone underground station while a second person suffered minor injuries.
Eyewitnesses said the attacker had reportedly shouted out "This is for Syria!"
Britain is on its second-highest security alert level of "severe", meaning a militant attack is considered highly likely, though not imminent, mainly because of the threat posed by Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq.
