The teenage boy who died in the Hainault sword attack in north-east London has been identified as 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin.
Police said Anjorin died from stab wounds shortly after
being taken to hospital on Tuesday.
He was the only casualty in the attack that left four other
people, including two police officers, injured.
The suspect, 36, was cornered and overpowered with a Taser
by officers in Thurlow Gardens.
Police were called to reports of a car crashing into a house
and people being stabbed in Hainault, north-east London.
James Fernando, a witness, told the BBC that he saw the
suspect asked one of his neighbours to take his phone and “tell whoever was on
the phone his location”.
Fernando said the neighbour soon noticed the sword and
started running.
“As she fled, the
woman shouted to another neighbour, a boy on his way to school, who was then
struck by the attacker as he turned around,” he said.
Anjorin attended Bancroft’s, the same school where Grace
O’Malley-Kumar, a stabbing victim in Nottingham, was also a student.

issued a statement naming her Mrs Anjorin and called for prayers for the
family.Police said the suspect is in hospital being treated for injuries
sustained when the vehicle he was in crashed into the house.The police said the
suspect would be taken in for questioning immediately after he has some
respite, adding that Anjorin’s family are being supported by specially trained
staff.
