Reports are coming in of a stabbing attack at the Oval Station in London with possible casualties though this has not yet been confirmed. The stabbing comes after Sunday night’s terrorist attack that saw a driver plow his car into a crowd of worshippers leaving East London Mosque. The last few weeks also saw the tragic London Bridge attack and the London tower fire.

UPDATE #2: A 14-year-old boy has been rushed to hospital, after he was found stabbed in the grounds of a church near Oval station, in south east London. Police officers were called shortly after 4:00 P.M. local time, according to Metro. A Met Police spokesperson confirmed the incident was not being treated as “terror-related.” They added:

“Police were called on Monday, 19 June at around 16:05 hours to a report of a male injured inside the grounds of church in Kennington Park Road, SE11. Officers attended and found a 14-year-old male suffering from a stab injury. The London Ambulance Service were called and he was taken to a south London hospital. We await an update on his condition. Officers remain on scene and there is a significant policing presence in the area. No arrests and enquiries are ongoing.”

UPDATE: Counter reports are emerging online suggesting the Oval Station stabbing may either be a hoax or falsely reported. Some are saying that the above video was taken at Paddington Station during an incident earlier Monday in which no one was injured.
