    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.

    "This was an isolated incident and there is no outstanding risk to the public. It is not being treated as terror-related." 

    Anyone with information or footage which could assist the police investigation is asked to contact police on 101, quoting CAD 2184/08AUG, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
