A boy of 13 launched a stabbing rampage in a school on Tuesday, leaving two children fighting for their lives in a suspected terror attack.
In the middle of a classroom just before lunch, a teenager pulled out a knife and stabbed a 13-year-old boy in the neck and back while shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’, witnesses said.
Seconds later, a second boy aged 12 was knifed in front of screaming children at Kingsbury High School in Brent, north-west London.
Armed police raced to the school, but the knifeman had fled. A suspect, who has not been named, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after being found hiding nearby around an hour later.
Sources said he was not a pupil at Kingsbury High, raising questions about how he managed to get into the school building with a concealed weapon.
On Tuesday, the two wounded boys were in a life-threatening condition in hospital. Scotland Yard said counter-terrorism police were leading the investigation amid suspicions it was an ideologically motivated attack.
Police have yet to formally declare that the stabbings were a terrorist attack as officers were still carrying out searches related to the suspect on Tuesday night.
Many of the youngsters who witnessed the stabbing spree were held in the school hall for several hours while police carried out inquiries.
The father of one pupil said: ‘He [the attacker] came into the school and my son saw him stab a child in the neck.

Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams said police were ‘keeping an open mind as to any motivation behind the attack’.
He added: ‘The suspect, who we believe to be 13, left the scene following the stabbing. After urgent inquiries, our officers arrested him and also recovered a weapon which we believe to have been used in the stabbing.
‘The suspect was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and remains in custody for questioning by our officers.’
