Three people have died in what is believed to have been a terror-related incident in Reading.

One person has been arrested and Sky News' home affairs correspondent Mark White has been told that early indications are the incident was terrorism.

Graphic video has appeared on social media of at least two bloodied people being given CPR - but authorities have urged people not to share such content.

A witness has told of how he saw a man walk up to a group of about 10 people and stab some of them in the neck and under the arms in a busy Reading park.

Lawrence Wort said the attacker then started running towards him but could not catch him and the perpetrator tried to target another group.

Mr Wort said he had been around 10 metres from the scene and the attack looked "completely random".

He said: "So the park was pretty full, a lot of people sat around drinking with friends when one lone person walked through, suddenly shouted some unintelligible words and went around a large group of around 10, trying to stab them.

"He stabbed three of them, severely in the neck, and under the arms, and then turned and started running towards me, and we turned and started running.

"When he realised that he couldn't catch us, he tried to stab another group sat down, he got one person in the back of the neck and then when he realised everyone was starting to run, he ran out the park."

A man, reported to be Libyan, has been arrested.
