A nursery teacher was stabbed on her way to work at Little Diamonds nursery in Hermon Hill in Wanstead, London.  Her employer confirmed the attack and the woman is currently in the hospital with minor wounds.

Employer, Karen Stevens, says that she was set upon by three girls who pulled her to the ground, stabbed her in the arm, and then ran off.

The woman could not identify her attackers, but some news outlets report they shouted, “Allah”. Police, however, are not treating this as a terror incident.
