[hide]London's Metropolitan Police Service and London Ambulance Service arrived at the scene six minutes after emergency services were called at 22:33. Less than ten minutes later, a man was arrested at the scene after being taseredby police.[1][2][3]
Victims[edit]
Six people, apparently selected at random, were stabbed.[4] A 64-year-old American, Darlene Horton, died at the scene. She had planned to fly back to Florida the following day.[5][6][7][8] An American man, a British man, an Australian man, an Australian woman, and an Israeli woman were injured.[7][9] The British man remained in hospital with serious abdominal wounds.[10]
Suspect[edit]
Zakaria Bulhan[11] was a 19-year-old male Norwegian national of Somali descent.[5] He was described as a Muslim[12][13][14][15] who "didn't really talk about religion."[16] He moved from Norway in 2002, and was unemployed and living with his mother and younger brother in Tooting, South London.[1][17][18]
Not long before the stabbing, Bulhan completed his first studies at South Thames College, and had been a patient at a psychiatric facility near Russell Square. According to a family friend, Bulhan called an ambulance three separate times in the last six months, claiming he wanted to harm himself. According to The Independent, a profile in Bulhan's name on a book rating website "shows an interest in Islamic theology, listing a biography of the Prophet Mohamed and a book of Quran verses and hadiths as recent reads."[4][18][19]
Legal proceedings[edit]
Following his arrest, Bulhan was treated in hospital and later held in custody at a police station in South London.[1] On 5 August, he was charged with the murder of Horton, along with five counts of attempted murder.[9][20] He appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 6 August,[21] where he was remanded in custody.[22] The trial is expected to take place in February 2017.[23]
Investigation[edit]
The Metropolitan Police initially said they were exploring terrorism as a possible motive.[3] They later said the investigation "increasingly points" to the attack being "triggered by mental health issues", and that the stabbings were random. Norwegian police cooperated in the investigation.[5]
Reactions[edit]
In an interview after the attack, the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said, "London is one of the safest capitals in the world". He added, "It is a reality in 2016 – especially when you look at what happened in Nice, in Brussels, in Munich, in parts of America – we've always got to be vigilant and never complacent."[1]

Guardian vs. Daily Mail on the Stabby Somali: "Not Religious" or "Devout Muslim?" STEVE SAILER AUGUST 5, 2016 41 COMMENTS From The liberal Guardian: Russell Square knife attack suspect ‘a polite and pleasant boy’ Zakaria Bulhan’s neighbours express shock that he might have carried out the London stabbings in which a US woman was killed … Bulhan’s former friend told the Daily Mail they did not believe him to be religious, but said he was bullied at school. But if you follow The Guardian’s own link to the Daily Mail article you get a very different picture. Was ‘devout Muslim’ Russell Square knifeman radicalised? Police to trawl ‘impressionable’ attacker’s PC for links to ISIS as neighbour claims mental illness is a ‘scapegoat’ Anti-terror police are studying computers belonging to London murder suspect Zakaria Bulhan, 19 Neighbour Parmjit Singh said: ‘His mental health problems are a scapegoat. Why would he attack an American woman tourist in a random attack?’ Mother-of-two Darlene Horton, 64, was stabbed to death in front of academic husband Dr Rick Wagner ... Bulhan said to have tried to kill himself on three occasions this year as mental health team helps police sraeli Yovel Lewkowki, 18, also stabbed when she tried to help him believing he had been attacked MAILONLINE Counter-terror police will today forensically study computers belonging to the Russell Square knifeman as a neighbour claimed the ‘impressionable’ teenager could have been inspired by ISIS. Scotland Yard believe Zakaria Bulhan, 19, a Norwegian national of Somali origin who moved to the UK in 2002, was not ‘motivated by terrorism’ but its officers are trawling his possessions for extremist material...Parmjit Singh, a BBC radio DJ known as ‘DJ Precious’ on the Asian network, said he had known ‘impressionable’ Bulhan for seven years, adding: ‘His mental health problems are a scapegoat. ...‘The news of his mental illness is completely new, we never heard that. Honestly, I think his mental health problems are a scapegoat.’ ‘Why would he attack an American woman tourist in a random attack? I think boys have put pressure on him to go there and do something. ... describing him as a ‘teacher’s pet’ and a ‘devout Muslim’ who would love debating religion. Online postings show a man named Zak Bulhan is interested in Islamic study, and in another he pledges support to former Guantanamo Bay inmate Moazzam Begg.
