Hainault: Man arrested after boy killed in sword attack

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

A 14-year-old schoolboy has died after an attacker armed with a sword went on the rampage near Hainault Underground Station in northeast London. The 36-year-old suspect is in hospital after driving his van into a house as the attack began, and police have been unable to speak to him. The incident is not being treated as terror-related. Also on the programme: The Ukrainian-born Republican Congresswoman, who voted against a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine; And Reader’s Digest UK is coming to an end after 86 years – we reflect on the magazine’s enduring appeal with one of its former columnists.
