    London Eye shut down, people trapped inside.

    For safety. They're in lockdown but trapped.

    As opposed to the incredible reliability of internet forum posters who were not there, who blindly say "don't speculate on their ethnicity that's racist!!!11" despite being told from somebody who was there that it was an asian man.

    BBC saying an Asian man according to eyewitnesses. That generally means someone from the Indian Sub continent as opposed to say Koreans.

    The Reuters photos were very graphic and too close to the victims

    No, I'd say they accurately portray events.

    Or from Birmingham or Manchester etc.
    This could just as easily be a Jo Cox style anti/pro Brexit event.
    Just wait for confirmation.

    You have proof that they were there do you? You can provide incontrovertible evidence right now? You can prove that the screenshot you provided is from someone who was there.

    Of course you can't. That's all we're saying. You don't KNOW that this is the truth. All we have now is speculation, not facts. The fact is that some person on the internet claims to have been there and claims that the attacker was "asian". It may well be true buy we don't know that for certain yet.

    Just because someone on the internet says something is true does not make it so.

    The picture of an easily identifiable heavily injured woman is unfair on her family

    Considering its being widely reported by multiple reputable news agencies, its fair to say that its no longer speculation that this crime was commited by an Asian male.

    There is always speculation when there is an incident like this. All news organization carry eyewitness accounts.

    They've just said on Sky News, it appears to be a male in his 30s or 40s of Asian appearance.
