The leader of Reading Council, Councillor Jason Brock, described the event as a “serious incident” and urged the public to avoid the town center altogether.
A Black Lives Matter protest took place at the park earlier in the day. Police said, that the rally, that wrapped up some two hours before the reports about the stabbing started coming in, is not believed to be linked to the event.

A man was arrested at the scene. It remains unclear whether there are any other suspects at large.
With little official information available, details of how police managed to stop what could have potentially turned into a full-blown carnage, have been leaked to local media.
The Mirror reported, citing sources, that a police officer confronted the knife-wielding attacker as he attempted to flee the scene by “rugby tackling him to the ground.”
While police have yet to release the identity of the alleged knifeman or shed some light on his motives, several media, including The Press Association news agency and Sky News, have already reported, citing sources, that the incident is believed to be terror-related.
