Streatham attacker named as Sudesh Amman who stabbed two

Sudesh Amman (20) who was released around a week ago after serving bi half of his sentence of three years and four months for terror offences was shot dead by police after he stabbed two people in Streatham, South London. He was under police surveillance at the time of the attack on Streatham High Road which police believe to be an Islamist-related terrorist incident.

Three people were injured but none are in a life-threatening condition.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the government would announce further plans for “fundamental changes to the system for dealing with those convicted of terrorism offences on Monday.

Gunshots were heard on Streatham High Road just after 14:00 GMT on Sunday.

Amman entered a shop and started stabbing people. It appears he then left the shop and stabbed a woman. Witness reported hearing three gunshots and seeing a man lying on the ground outside a Boots Pharmacy, as armed police approached and shouted at those nearby to move back.

The Met Police said armed officers who were part of a “proactive counter-terrorism operation and were following the suspect on foot- were in immediate attendance.
