As speculation spiralled, MP Nigel Farage questioned if the police, who had said the attack was not "terror-related", were being truthful.
"The police say it is a non-terror incident, just as they said the stabbing of an army lieutenant colonel in uniform on the streets of Kent the other day was a non-terror incident," said the Reform leader. "I just wonder whether the truth is being withheld from us. I don't know the answer to that but I think it is a fair and legitimate question."

He told viewers "it's that time of year again" before urging kids to dress up as Doctor Who to raise money for Children in Need.
Rudakubana, then aged 11, was at the time on the books of Ology Kids Casting based in the Lancashire market town of Ormskirk.
The promo vid is understood to have been shot on location in nearby Blackpool in early 2018.
In the clip, Rudakubana also told viewers: "You can run from John O'Groats to Land's End – backwards."
The BBC and Ology Kids Casting both deleted the video today after Rudakubana appeared in court.
