translated from Spanish: British police investigate knife attack that left at least three dead

Three people were killed and three others were seriously injured on Saturday following a knife attack at a park in the English town of Reading. British media noted that the police initially investigated it as a “terrorism-related” case, although so far it has not delved into that edge. The attack at Forbury Gardens Park in the city prompted swift police action, who reported that several people were transferred to hospitals and confirmed the arrest of a 25-year-old, who has not yet had more information. The British Interior Secretary said he was “deeply concerned” and Prime Minister Boris Johnson expressed support “to all those affected by the horrific incident in Reading.” The local Thames Valley police force detailed in a tweet that officers were requested to attend At Forbury Gardens around 7:00 p.m. Several people were injured and taken to the hospital,” and a subject was arrested at the scene, he said. The Royal Berkshire Hospital revealed that it was treating two people injured in the incident. According to witnesses, police vehicles and helicopters flocked to Reading Park, a town of about 200,000, 64 kilometres west of London. Police blocked several streets of the city centre, and photographs showed two air ambulances in the area. Reading Council leader Jason Brock tweeted: “There are worrying reports from reading town centre: Please clear the area because police are investigating a serious incident.” British Interior Secretary Priti Patel said on Twitter: “I am deeply concerned to hear reports of an incident in Reading. My thoughts are with everyone involved, including police and emergency personnel on site.” The incident occurred hours after a protest was held in the Black Lives Matter movement at Forbury Gardens.Nieema Hassan, one of the organizers of Saturday’s protest, said the demonstrators had withdrawn when the violence occurred. On social media, Hassan noted that she was “praying for those affected. I hope they’re all right.”
