One woman was killed and five other people were injured in a knife attack in central London's Russell Square, London Metropolitan Police said.
Authorities said a suspect, a 19-year-old man, is in police custody at a hospital.
The woman killed is in her 60s, authorities said.
Mental health is a "major factor" in the investigation but terrorism remains a line of inquiry.
"As
a precautionary measure tomorrow, Londoners will wake up and in the
morning they will notice increased police presence on the streets,
including armed officers," Mark Rowley, the Scotland Yard assistant
commissioner, told reporters.
