i am very familiar with the area, hainault, because i was a| area, hainault, because i was a sergeantvely quiet area. it is on the outskirts of london. it has relatively little crime. this will come as a big shock to the local community. i think what the police will be doing, once they have had those calls at 7am, they would have been responding and you would have had multiple units responding to that. because of the sword that we have seen in the footage, you may well have had armed response vehicles attending. you may have had essex police officers attending as well as metropolitan police officers. the key thing that would have been that officers would have been going to the seat of the danger and doing what they can to protect the public and that is worth remembering. officers run towards danger when the rest of the public will run away from it. those police officers showed extremely high levels of bravery. i understand two of those injured are police officers, and so the key thing now for the police to do is to keep this as a crime scene, and collect as much evidence as they can.
