    Two men entered a restaurant at Borough Market, just south of London Bridge, and stabbed two people inside, a witness told CNN on Saturday. The patrons sheltered in the basement and police have arrived at the scene, the witness said. "As well as #LondonBridge officers have also responded to an incident in #BoroughMarket. We have armed police at the scenes," London's Metropolitan Police tweeted.

    A van mowed down pedestrians as it sped down London Bridge in the British capital Saturday night, leaving bodies lying in the roadway, a witness to the incident told CNN.

    Mark Roberts said the van was traveling south across the River Thames at a high rate of speed and was swerving as it struck several people, knocking one person "about 20 feet into the air."

    The van swerved into oncoming lanes before hitting a bus stop and coming to a stop, Roberts said.
