Perpetrator on the run

Teenager (14) stabbed to death on a London bus

A teenager was stabbed to death on a bus in the British capital London on Tuesday. Although paramedics treated the 14-year-old at the scene, he died from his injuries, according to the police.

The background to the crime is still unclear. The emergency services were called to the scene in the eastern district of Woolwich in the afternoon. So far, no suspect has been arrested.

There are repeated fatal knife attacks in the UK. A few months ago, the government spoke of a national crisis and, with actor Idris Elba, announced its intention to take action against it.
