Detectives are urgently investigating why a man armed with a sword went on a 22-minute rampage in east London, killing a 14-year-old boy and wounding four other people in an apparently random attack.
...
Eyewitness accounts suggest the 14-year-old was killed after walking past the scene and being swiped at with the sword. Locals tried to save the boy, but he later died from his wounds in hospital.
...
“He was wielding his sword trying to attack the police but then they sprayed him and he ran away,” she said. “He was shouting at the police: ‘Do you believe in God?’, also at the ambulance.”

In another video the suspect is heard and seen saying “Is there anybody here who believes in God?” while standing next to a wounded person.
