London: Three people are reportedly dead and two others critically wounded in a mass stabbing in Britain in the same park where a Black Lives Matter rally was held hours earlier.

The incident occurred at 7pm on Saturday at Forbury Gardens in Reading, a city about 70 kilometres to the west of London. A rally had been held at the same park earlier in the evening but it is unclear whether the incident is linked to the demonstration.
