London Mayor Sadiq Khan is thanking police and emergency services personnel who responded to a knife attack at London Bridge today. In a statement, Khan said he remains in close contact with the Metropolitan Police and is being kept updated with the events. Officers are handling the investigation as if it is terror-related. According to the Mayor, they must and will stay resolute in their determination to stand strong and united in the face of terror, adding those who attack and divide them will never succeed.
