A soldier was apparently beheaded and hacked at with a meat cleaver by two attackers, who were then shot by armed police near the Woolwich Barracks. The young victim, wearing a Help for Heroes T-shirt, was attacked "like a piece of meat" and dumped in the street, according to witness reports.
Whitehall sources say it is "a fair supposition" that the incident was a terrorist incident, according to reports from the BBC, and senior police sources have told Sky News that they are treating the incident as a "politically motivated Islamist terror attack".
One witness, identified as James, told LBC that he and his partner saw two black men attack the victim.
Fighting back tears, James said the men treated their victim as a "piece of meat" after he was dead.
"These two guys were crazed," he said on air.
"They were hacking at this poor guy, literally chopping him, cutting him, like it was a piece of meat. We though they were trying to remove his organs or something.
"They dragged him from the pavement and dumped his body in the middle of the road and left his body there."
He said that after the "horrendous" attack, the two men, in their twenties, just stood around, waving knives and a gun, even asking people nearby to take pictures of them "as if they wanted to be on TV or something".
"They were oblivious to anything, they were more worried about having their photo taken, running up and down the road," he said.
"They had no intention of running off or leaving or anything.
"In my opinion, they were waiting for the police to arrive to be shot by the police. That's the only thing I can think.
"It's horrendous what they were doing to that guy."
