THE COMMENTATOR: Reports suggest that a serving solider has been "hacked to bits" in Woolwich by two men with "meat cleavers" and guns
Various online reports have confirmed what is being reported as a "major incident" in Woolwich in South East London, as people drop feed information about what the Metropolitan Police has so far described as an "assault".
Eyewitnesses have reported a beheading with a 'machete' or 'meat cleaver' and claimed that police armed units responded to a scene in John Wilson Street, Woolwich.
The shots are said to have been fired close to the Royal Artillery Barracks in London after an alleged sword attack, The Sun reports.
While the incident has yet to be confirmed, local residents and social media users report that two black men ran over a white man in a car, before "hopping out" and attempting to decapitate him. It is not yet known if the attempt was successful, though reports suggest that the two men were shot by armed police arriving at the scene. » | The Commentator | Wednesday, May 22, 2013
