Two police officers were stabbed as they patrolled in Leicester Square in central London early on Friday morning.
The Metropolitan Police said the incident, which took place around 6 a.m., was not believed to be linked to terrorism.
The two officers were attacked by a man, who was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and assaulting an emergency worker.
A statement from the Metropolitan Police said a Taser had been deployed to enable officers to subdue the attacker, a man in his 20s, who is now in custody.
Both officers—one male and one female—were treated at the scene by paramedics and taken to hospital but neither suffered life-threatening injuries….
