PM Johnson says Britain will not hesitate to learn any lesson from Reading attack

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Sunday that he was appalled and sickened by a stabbing spree in a southern English town which police said was an act of terrorism.

Johnson said the government would make changes to the law if required. A 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder after the stabbings on Saturday evening in Reading, which is about 40 miles west of London. Britain's most senior counter-terrorism police officer said a man had run into Forbury Gardens and attacked people with a knife before being detained by unarmed officers. He said it had been declared terrorism after detectives worked through the night on the case.
