Several witnesses described seeing a "beheading" while
another described seeing a man wearing a Help for Heroes
T-shirt being attacked with a machete-style knife and
dumped.
Prime Minister David Cameron called a meeting of the
Government's Cobra crisis committee, describing the
incident as "truly shocking".
Cobra meetings are crisis response committees set up to
coordinate the actions of different agencies, including
the security services, police and local authorities.
The BBC reported sources had told them the men were
shouting "Allahu Akbar" as they carried out the attack
and had filmed carrying it out.
