Racism: Nigerian boy, Daniel Anjorin stabbed to death in London

A picture of Daniel Anjorin, the 14-year-old boy slain in Tuesday’s sword assault in northeast London, was made public by United Kingdom Police yesterday.

Grace O’Malley-Kumar, the victim of the Nottingham attack, was a student at Bancroft’s private school in Woodford Green, where Anjorin was enrolled.

Daniel was “a wonderful child,” “well loved,” and “hardworking,” according to his family, who told Sky News that his passing “leaves a gaping wound in the family.”

They declared, “No family should have to go through what we are going through right now.” “Any family will realize what a terrible situation this is.”

In light of the events in Hainault, the flag of his school is flown at half mast.

Bancroft’s said Daniel had been a pupil there since age seven and they were “devastated by the heartbreaking news.”

“He was a true scholar, demonstrating commendable dedication to his academic pursuits. His positive nature and gentle character will leave a lasting impact on us,” the school said.

Four other people, including two police officers, were injured in the attack.

Metropolitan Police chief Sir Mark Rowley said one of the officers nearly lost her hand while apprehending the suspect.

The injuries suffered by all four are not thought to be life-threatening, and police don’t believe it was a targeted attack or terror-related.

Officers were called at 7a.m, with dramatic footage showing police later tasering and arresting a man with a sword.

The words “suspect contained” are heard as a female officer pulls the sword away.

Police said a 33-year-old man was hit when the suspect began his rampage by crashing a van into a house on Laing Close.
