A 36-year-old man was arrested Tuesday in London after attacking members of the public and two police officers with a sword, London’s Metropolitan Police said.

“Police and other emergency services are in Hainault, east London, at a serious incident in which a man with a sword has been arrested,” the police said in a statement sent to CBS News.

“We understand the suspect went on to attack other members of the public and two police officers. We are awaiting an update on the condition of those injured,” the statement said.

Social media video verified by CBS News’ partner network BBC News shows the suspect dressed in a yellow sweater, walking and appearing to hide behind bushes in a front yard while carrying a long bladed weapon.

Senior U.K. police official Ade Adelekan said the incident was not believed to be related to terrorism.

“We do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the wider community. We are not looking for more suspects,” Adelekan said.

London’s Ambulance Service confirmed in a social media post that five people had been treated at the scene and subsequently taken to a hospital.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan said he was in constant contact with the police and that he was “absolutely devastated” by the attack.

“The police officers and emergency services showed the best of our city — running towards danger to protect others and I thank them from the bottom of our heart,” he said in message shared on social media.

Transport for London, which runs the city’s heavily used Underground train system, said the station for Hainault was closed due to a police investigation.
