Speaking earlier today (Wednesday) on LBC,
Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley, said: “The
thoughts of us all are with the parents of the
14-year-old boy who lost his life.
“Officers were on the ground in 12 minutes and
the attacker was detained in 22 minutes.
Videos shown on social media and media
websites show what the situation was really
like for the officers.

It is not a glib phrase when
we say they run towards danger. Officers are
so connected to the idea that it’s their job to
protect the public that they instinctively do this.
“It is a privilege to lead and work with my
officers; meeting them and listening to them is
humbling. Nineteen officers a day are injured in
London, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
This is the background context to officers going
about their work, making arrests, protecting
people.”
Police were called shortly before 07:00hrs to
Laing Close, Hainault, after receiving reports
that a man had crashed a van into the fence
of a house and people stabbed.
Detective Chief Inspector Larry Smith, who is
leading the investigation, said: “This is an
incredibly tragic incident that has resulted in a
young boy losing his life and his family
devastated. On behalf of the family, I would ask
that their privacy is respected.

“This is a complex investigation due to the
number of crime scenes, forensic evidence,
hours of CCTV footage and witnesses we need
to speak to. I know that many people will want
answers and we are working to provide them
as soon as we can.
I would also echo previous
calls for patience as my officers carry out a
painstaking investigation to deliver justice for
Daniel, his family, those injured and the wider
community.
“We are starting to build a picture of what
happened on Tuesday and I want to thank
everyone who has come forward to share
dashcam, doorbell and mobile phone footage
with us.
“Likewise, thank you to witnesses, who were no
doubt terrified by what they saw, and who have
made vital contributions to our investigation.
Anyone who has not yet spoken to police and
has any information should contact us as soon
as possible.”
The police said the incident took place in a
number of locations and they were still
working to confirm the full details.
The police said, “We know that a 33-year-old
man was struck when the suspect crashed his
van into the property in Laing Close. He was
then attacked by the suspect and suffered a
wound to his neck.
“A 35-year-old man suffered lacerations to his
arm when he was attacked inside a nearby
property.
“The suspect then went on to attack Daniel
Anjorin who, as we know, tragically died from
his injuries.
“Officers arrived at the scene within 12 minutes
of the first call. They used their Pava
incapacitant spray and Taser however these
had limited impact.
“Two officers were subsequently attacked by
the suspect, causing serious injuries. They will
require long-term rehabilitation to help them
recover.”
According to the police, the suspect fled again
before being surrounded by other officers in
Thurlow Gardens. They used Taser to
overpower him.
He was arrested before being taken to
hospital due to injuries from the crash and
was subsequently put in police custody.
