A man was arrested near the British Museum on Tuesday after a person was stabbed near the building, London’s Metropolitan Police said.
The museum, located in the center of this capital, has been evacuated, according to comments from various people on social networks, although neither the Police nor the museum have been able to confirm this circumstance.
“A man has been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm following an isolated incident at the Russell Street/Museum Street intersection around 10am (0900 GMT),” a law enforcement statement said.
The injured man has been admitted to a nearby hospital with stab wounds, the source added.
“The museum security team provided support until the emergency services arrived. Visitors were evacuated from the museum as a precautionary measure and we wish the victim a full and speedy recovery,” she added.

The British Museum reopens
The British Museum, which was closed after a man was arrested Tuesday after a person was stabbed near the building, has since reopened.
The museum, located in the center of this capital, was closed as a precautionary measure, but it has reopened its doors with “greater security that includes intensifying the searches” of visitors, the gallery itself indicated when updating the information.
