People just out enjoying a Saturday night and it ends like this. Sadly I'm not surprised there has been another attack with Ramadan and the election next week.

That's exactly what my husband said.

I'm praying for the victims and the emergency services, the police and ambulance service, who run towards the danger. I wonder if the terror threat will be raised back to critical.

London Bridge has been placed on lockdown amid reports of three men carrying knives attacking people and up to 20 have reportedly been struck by a van.

Armed police are at the scene in what is being described as a “major incident”, possibly a terrorist attack.

Witnesses described a white van mounting the curb and hitting as many as up to 20 people on the bridge.

I am praying hard now. We are always standing by you wonderful Brits!

Please don't let it be as bad as it sounds. The two events are receiving confusing witness reports at the moment.

Praying everyone survives whatever happened at both places.

Witnesses described a white van mounting the curb and hitting as many as up to 20 people on the bridge.

They seriously need to put bollards up on the bridge and other bridges to stop vehicles mounting the pavement now.

"A cab driver told LBC that three men jumped out of the van.

He said: 'They just had these long blades, about 12 inches long. They just went randomly along Borough High Street stabbing people.

'A young girl got stabbed in the chest, she was laying there - it's so sad.

'I thought, 'I'm gonna try and hit him, I'm gonna try and knock him down'. I spun the cab round, I was about to ram one of them, but he side-stepped and three police officers came running towards them with their batons drawn.

One eyewitness who wished to remain anonymous told MailOnline: 'I was in Arabica restaurant with a friend in borough market. Suddenly there was commotion and people were screaming. Security guards were yelling at people to get back from the window. About 50 people piled into the restaurant.

'Then I heard two separate bursts of gunfire and people rushed into the restaurant kitchens to hide. It was utter chaos.

'Some people tried to leave the kitchens via the back door but some of us tried to keep people calm. We hid for 45minutes and then were evacuated from the market by armed police.'
