The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “My thoughts are with the innocent people who were violently attacked in Streatham as they were going about their daily lives. I want to commend the brave actions of Met police officers who prevented further tragedy by running towards danger and putting themselves in harm’s way to help protect the public.
“It is clear from the findings of the inquest that serious lessons must be learned. I know that I speak for Londoners when I say that those who seek to divide us, hurt our communities and destroy our way of life, will never succeed.”
