Daven Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Shouldn't the thread title state 'suspected terror attack'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zach Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I was just watching this on the news. It looks deliberate but why did they think they would get past the barrier? Maybe they watched too many films that had balsa wood barriers, the real ones tend to stop you in your tracks... as it did! The news now saying it's a terror attack (Or being investigated as such) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daven Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Not proven terror attack? It's being investigated as a possible terror attack at the moment I believe. The police choose the wording of any press release very carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 At least we know the barrier does its job. Last I heard no serious injuries, I think they said just a couple of cyclists taken to hospital. but not seriously hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansheff Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Well from the video on the news can see why it is being treated as a terror attack, why else would a person drive like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard no serious injuries, I think they said just a couple of cyclists taken to hospital. but not seriously hurt. These terrorists are a bit crap really. As you say it's really a non event. The police have the little scroat, and they can deal with him appropriately. Lets hope that the cyclists are not badly hurt. From what I saw they had a car drive head on into them, they are very lucky in that regard. ---------- Post added 14-08-2018 at 13:28 ---------- Well from the video on the news can see why it is being treated as a terror attack, why else would a person drive like that? I could understand a simple crash from a stroke or diabetes.... but that was deliberate driving surely as you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Cats Hat Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 The police are saying he is not co-operating I very much doubt that. He will be interviewed by specialist anti terror officers who will not even confirm his name and age until he is charged or released. Wouldn't surprise me if the guy turns out to have mental health issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
