The US citizen killed in a knife attack in central London has been named by police as 64-year-old Darlene Horton. A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after she was killed and five other people were injured in Russell Square.

Florida State University (FSU) has confirmed Ms Horton was the wife of psychology professor Richard Wagner.

Two other women and three men received various injuries in the attack, which happened near the Imperial Hotel.

One person from the group remains in hospital while the others have since been discharged. None of the injuries were life-threatening.

After receiving treatment in hospital, the arrested man, who was detained in Bedford Place, is now in police custody in south London.

Police believe the attack on Wednesday was "spontaneous", with victims "selected at random".

The injured people were from the UK, the US, Israel and Australia.

Met Police assistant commissioner for specialist operations Mark Rowley said the investigation was increasingly pointing to the attack being "triggered by mental health issues". He had earlier said the force was considering terrorism as a line of inquiry.
