London sword attack leaves British-Nigerian teenager dead
A 14-year-old boy, Daniel Anjorin, was fatally attacked with a sword in London on Tuesday while on his way to school.
The British-Nigerian student attended Bancroft’s private school. A 36-year-old man, who was not previously known to police, has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
The attack began when the suspect crashed a van into a house fence, injuring a 33-year-old man, then stabbed him in the neck.

He then attacked a 35-year-old man, causing arm lacerations, before killing Anjorin. Two police officers were seriously injured while apprehending the suspect, who was eventually detained 22 minutes after the initial call. The attack is not believed to be terror-related.
The independent school attended by Anjorin said in a statement Wednesday that they had been left in “profound shock and sorrow” at the pupil’s death.
“He was a true scholar, demonstrating commendable dedication to his academic pursuits. His positive nature and gentle character will leave a lasting impact on us,” Bancroft’s, in Woodford Green, near Hainault, said.
