Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams, head of north west London policing, confirmed officers have identified the teenage suspect and are racing to track him down. “We have deployed significant resources to the area and are doing everything we can to locate the suspect,” Williams said.
The swift police response aims to reassure shaken local students, parents and residents worried about safety around schools.
