A man has been shot near London Bridge wielding a knife. More to come.
A man has been shot by police after a number of people were believed to be injured in a stabbing attack around London Bridge.
A person is believed to have started attacking people with a knife and was then, according to witnesses, shot by police.
There are up to five casualties, police told Sky's home affairs editor Mark White.
Offices around the bridge are on lockdown and London Bridge station is closed, while trains are not stopping, British Transport Police said.
Joe, who was evacuated from his office overlooking London Bridge as he spoke to Sky News, said:
"We saw loads of police cars heading towards the bridge. We saw a man on the ground and police pointing guns at him."
He added he later saw a lady being carried away from the scene. Several police cars on are pictured on the bridge, with a lorry stopped across the central reservation of the dual carriageway.'
Police have cordoned off the bridge. Pavements on both sides of the bridge have large bollards on to prevent vehicles. They were installed after the 2017 London Bridge terror attack. London Ambulance Service have tweeted they are on the scene.
People are running for cover
