A LEAST one Spaniard is among the injured in last night's terrorist attack in London, which happened just minutes after the end of the Champions' League final in Cardiff, won by Real Madrid.
As yet, the identities of the seven who were killed and the 48 wounded when a white van ploughed through 20 pedestrians on London Bridge before heading to Borough Market and stabbing several restaurant customers have not been revealed.
Spanish foreign affairs minister Alfonso Dastis says a person with a Spanish passport – although it is not known whether they are an expat or a tourist – is being treated in a London hospital, although the patient's injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Witnesses on London Bridge said they saw 'people flying through the air' and 'throwing themselves into the Thames', and at least six people lying on the ground.
A young woman was seen staggering into a pub near the bridge with blood pouring from her neck and mouth.
So far, 12 people have been arrested and the three main attackers – all men – have been shot dead by police.
They were wearing what appeared to be suicide bomber vests, but which turned out to be waistcoats with tin plates stuck to them and no explosives inside.
The attackers were said to be carrying huge knives and stabbed bystanders at random in an attack that was over in the space of 10 minutes.
Many injured parties were seen being given mouth-to-mouth and CPR on the bridge and in the Borough Market area, a popular pub and restaurant zone which attracts hundreds of tourists and locals round the clock.
In less than three months, 34 people have been killed in terrorist attacks in the UK – five in Westminster at the hands of Kent-born Brit Adrian Elms, a self-proclaimed 'Muslim convert' who changed his name to Khalid Masood, then 22 revellers at Ariana Grande's Manchester Arena concert a fortnight ago, six of whom were children and the majority of whom were under 21.
