11-year-old hospitalised after stabbing in London's Leicester Square

A man has been arrested after a stabbing in London's Leicester Square that's left an 11-year-old girl needing hospital treatment, and a 34-year-old woman with minor injuries. 

Police aren't treating the incident as terror-related. 

UK police forces remain on high alert after days of riots earlier this month, which were triggered by online posts wrongly identifying a suspected killer of three girls in northern England as an Islamist migrant. 

UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that immediately after the attack, the right came online saying that it’s happened again and that they’re up to no good. 

He said that there’s no evidence whatsoever that the attacker was Muslim, however there is a fair bit of evidence that the person who stopped the attack and took the knife off of him was.
