London: A tragic incident unfolded when a 14-year-old boy was stabbed to death on a bus in Woolwich. It’s just heartbreaking, right? The police are now on the lookout for the person responsible.
Emergency services rushed to the scene, but sadly, the boy didn’t make it. He was on a route 472 bus when the attack happened, and it’s left everyone in shock.
Authorities were called around 2:28 PM, and they quickly set up cordons to investigate. Deputy Commander Louise Sargent described the situation as “horrendous,” and you can feel the worry in the community.
She expressed her sadness over the loss and mentioned that the police are working hard to find those involved. It’s a tough time for the victim’s family and friends, and you can only imagine what they’re going through.
Interestingly, this incident happened just a day after another stabbing nearby, but police don’t think the two cases are connected. The Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, also shared his condolences and emphasized that such violence has no place in the city.
Last year, there were 10 teenage deaths in London due to violence, and it’s a stark reminder of the issues facing the community. It’s just so sad to see young lives lost like this.
