A man attacked and injured three people at a London Underground station while shouting 'This is for Syria,' Saturday.
Scotland Yard is treating the incident at Leytonstone station as a terrorist incident, according to The Telegraph.
"We are treating this as a terrorist incident," Richard Walton, a commander with the Metropolitan Police Service Counter Terrorism Command, said in a release. "I would urge the public to remain calm, but alert and vigilant. The threat from terrorism remains at severe, which means that a terrorist attack is highly likely."
