Counter-terror officers are working 'to help establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident', police said after a man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder
“We are taking this matter extremely seriously and are using all resources available to us. We are keeping an open mind to the motive of the attacker and we won’t speculate further at this stage.
“We’re examining CCTV and speaking to witnesses. I’ve been speaking to people this morning, and so I know just how concerned they are and that people are after answers. “We are determined to get those answers as soon as possible, and I’d urge the community to work with us and to avoid any speculation at this stage.”Chief Supt Richard North continued: “Our investigation continues with support from Counter Terrorism Policing West Midlands CTU who have access to specialist capabilities to help establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
“We have officers patrolling the local area to reassure people and we are visiting local faith establishments to keep them informed.” The force is investigating whether the attack is linked to a similar attack last month in which an 82-year-old man was set on fire as he left a mosque in Ealing, west London.
