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."
Police were called to the station around 7 p.m. The suspect was seen running through an exit and threatening other people with a knife, according to The Telegraph.
An officer used a Taser on the suspect and he was arrested around 7:14 p.m. He is being questioned by anti-terrorism detectives.
