A brazen, brutal attack near a military barracks in London on Wednesday afternoon left one man dead and two suspects in the hospital in what British Prime Minister David Cameron said appeared to be a terror-related incident.

The attack occurred in the southeast London neighborhood of Woolwich, just a few blocks from the Royal Artillery Barracks.

Two men reportedly attacked another man. Witnesses said the two men were shot by police and a number of weapons — including butchers’ knives — could be seen on the street, which was splattered by blood.

French President Francois Hollande, speaking at a press conference in Paris with Cameron, said it was a British soldier who was killed.

Cameron didn’t immediately confirm that fact but the Britain’s Ministry of Defense said it was urgently investigating the attack.

Cameron did say said there were “strong indications” it was a terrorist incident.

“We have suffered these attacks before, we have always beaten them back,” Cameron said. “We will not be cowed, we will never buckle.”

Live television images of the scene showed a trail of blood staining a pavement, cordoned off streets and crime scene investigators marking the scene.

The website for the British ITV channel has posted an eyewitness video allegedly showing one of the men involved. In it, a man with bloody hands, a knife and a cleaver apologizes for what everyone had to witness and tries to explain why he did it.

“I apologize that women had to witness this today, but in our land our women have to see the same,” the man in the video says while gesticulating.

“You people will never be safe,” he continues. “Remove your government, they don’t care about you.”

The video then showed the man talking with another man. The two men were then subdued by police.

A tweet from the scene showed a man crumpled on the ground:
