Four teenagers 'stabbed police officer in east London' | |
(about 4 hours later) | |
An undercover Met Police officer was stabbed by a group of teenagers in east London while on an operation, the force has said. | |
Three boys and a girl allegedly attacked the plain clothes officer in an alleyway near The Bow Bells pub in Bow on Tuesday night. | |
The officer, in his 40s, suffered three stab wounds. He is recovering in hospital. | |
Another man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder remains in custody. | |
A knife has been recovered from the scene. Scotland Yard said the stabbing was not being treated as terrorist related. | |
The Met said the group, all believed to be in their late teens, may not have been aware the victim was a police officer. | |
The teens may also have been involved in another incident outside Devons Road Docklands Light Railway Station, where a motorist was threatened with a knife, the Met said. | |
The stabbed man, who was with the Met's specialist crime and operations unit, was one of four Met officers injured in separate attacks on Tuesday, BBC London has learned. | |
One police officer sustained a broken hand and another was punched in the face in different incidents in Lambeth. | |
Another officer was attacked with a needle in Croydon, south London. | |
On Tuesday, the Met revealed two officers were attacked by a mob of around 30 schoolchildren in New Cross a fortnight ago. | |
One of them was punched in the face several times then kicked in the head repeatedly after he tried to search a boy suspected of concealing a knife. |
