A woman has been beheaded in a back garden and a police officer injured after a man reportedly went berzerk with a machete today.
Specialist firearms officers were deployed to an address in Edmonton, north London, just after 1pm. There they found the victim collapsed in a garden. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 25-year-old man was detained by firearms officers near the scene. One firearms officer was injured during the arrest and is believed to be suffering from a broken wrist.
A Taser was discharged by officers. Scotland Yard has confirmed the man was arrested on suspicion of murder and is in custody.
There is no suggestion that the killing had any terrorist motive.
