Emergency services were called to Brent Civic Centre in Wembley, north-west London, after reports of a stabbing at the building, which houses Brent Council. One person has died as a result. The site was reportedly evacuated as paramedics, including an air ambulance team, worked to treat the victim.
Brent Civic Centre is a public building used both as council offices and as a community hub, with facilities such as a library, meaning members of the public as well as staff could have been present at the time. Wembley is a busy area of north-west London, close to Wembley Stadium, so the incident has drawn attention partly because of its location in a well-known public space.
At this stage, the circumstances of the stabbing, including who was involved and any possible motive, have not been established. This is an ongoing situation, and details are likely to be updated as authorities investigate further.
