Local authorities in England issued several tweets on Saturday regarding details of a stabbing attack that injured several people and ended with one arrest, according to police.
There is no clear indication of motive yet, but Britain's interior minister said she was "deeply concerned," according to The Associated Press.
The Thames Valley Police included a link to their website with details of the case and a request that the public share any video or photographic evidence, instead of posting it on social media.
The stabbing took place in Reading, at Forbury Gardens around 7 p.m. Police and emergency services were called in following reports of the attack. The officers arrested a suspect at the scene who's currently in police custody.
