Emergency services were called to Hainault, in north-east London, shortly before 07:00 BST on Tuesday

The teenage boy who died in the Hainault sword attack has been named locally as Daniel Anjorin.

The 14-year-old died in hospital after Tuesday's attack, in which four other people, including two police officers, were injured.

A 36-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Daniel went to Bancroft's, the same independent day school where Grace O'Malley-Kumar, one of the Nottingham stabbing victims, attended.

Separately, the school where his mother works has issued a statement naming her as Mrs Anjorin.

Holy Family Catholic School said: "It is with great sadness that I share with you the news of the death of the child of one of our staff members."

The Met Police is expected to make a statement this afternoon.

This is a breaking news story. More to follow.
