    COPS have arrested someone after a man was brutally stabbed in the arm in a random attack in the centre of London.  

    The Metropolitan Police tell SundayStar.co.uk that the scary ordeal on Tuesday morning is "not being treated as terror-related".  

    But they did confirm that they've arrested a 36-year-old man in connection with the incident, on suspicion of GBH.  

    A spokesperson said: "Police have arrested a 36-year-old man on suspicion of GBH following an incident at the junction of Great Russell Street and Museum Street around 10am on Tuesday August 8.

    "His condition was later assessed as not life-threatening or life-changing.
