A knifeman who reportedly stabbed a rail passenger at a train station in southeast London shouted, "I want to kill a Muslim", according to a witness.
One man was injured in the attack at Forest Hill station at around lunchtime on Monday.
Witnesses described the "horrific" attack and its aftermath on Twitter.
One, who gave his first name as Richard, told Sky News: "As he walks into my carriage, looks right at me. He has a knife... 5/6 inches. Black handle. Approaches a woman wearing a hijab sitting opposite."
But then the knifeman went on to say, "I don't want a Muslim women. I want me a Muslim man".
"He looked like a man possessed. He was walking at a fast pace through the carriage," said the passenger.
One Twitter user wrote: "The perpetrator is currently ranting on the streets. Beware."
Another tweeted: "#foresthill The attacker shouted " Who is Muslim, I want to kill a Muslim approached the guy sitting with his wife on the 1st carriage."
Shellby Curry, 24, was with her one-year old child when she saw a man "waving what looked to be a knife in his hand" near the station and screaming words like "Muslims f****** hate them, kill them all".
"I was walking along and someone stopped and said 'be careful, he's got a knife'.
"As I looked around there he was. I just grabbed my baby and ran across the road. Looking back (I saw) him marching up and down waving his arm about."
Miguel Oliveira, 36, said he came "face-to-face" with the attacker, who he described as "shouting uncontrollably".
"He was walking towards me and he was shouting stuff like 'Death to Muslims' and 'Go back to Syria'," he said.
British Transport Police said the incident was not being treated as "terrorism-related".
A spokeswoman said officers were sent to the station after reports of a serious assault at 1.18pm.
"One person has been arrested following the incident and is currently in police custody," she said.
"One man was treated by ambulance staff at the scene and is currently en route to hospital."

If it was a muzzie saying he wanted to kill a brit/infidel etc, would that be considered terrorism?

I think the brits should just let their government do all the killing of the muslims. Don't think the people will be able to take the backlash if the muslims start looking for christians as openly as this guy. That will definitely be a terrorism related incident :D

Definitely not a Muslim.
He only stabbed one individual,didnt kill him and dint kill himself Interesting to see who they try to blame. Brexit. 6/4 Trump. 2/1 Nigel Farage 9/4 Others on application. |

If he is that motivated to kill muslims he should join the army. Or even better, go to the US. They are looking to expand their military.
