Man stabs a girl and her mother in a London tourism hot spot before being arrested, police say

LONDON (AP) — Authorities say a man stabbed an 11-year-old girl and her mother in London’s bustling theater district before being arrested, but that there is no indication that the attack was terrorism-related. The attack occurred shortly before noon Monday outside a tea shop in Leicester Square, a magnet for tourists with its shops and theaters. Police say workers from nearby shops leapt to help the victim, who were taken to a major trauma center. Police say the girl required treatment but her life isn’t in jeopardy. Her mother’s injuries were less serious. Police say they don’t think the 32-year-old suspect knew the victims. Britain has been on edge after days of violence as crowds spouting anti-immigrant and Islamophobic slogans clashed with police.
