Muslim Woman Stabs Member of British Parliament At His First Meeting With Constituency?
It appears that is what happened.
Former UK Treasury Minister Stephen Timms StabbedFriday, former UK Treasury Minister and sitting Labour MP Stephen Timms was stabbed by a woman while attending his first advice session with his constituents since the 6th May general election, said officials.
According to police and Labour party officials, injuries sustained by Timms in the attack are not believed to be life-threatening. The Labour party in a statement said Timms was currently recovering at the Royal London Hospital, and is "in good spirits."
The incident happened at the Beckton Globe Library in east London when the former Treasury minister was holding a constituency surgery. Police officials said a 21-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with the attack on the lawmaker, but the motive behind the attack is not yet clear.
"He has been taken to a local hospital with non-life- threatening injuries," the Metropolitan police said in a statement released Friday. "A 21-year-old woman has been arrested and is currently in custody."
Though the police did not provide any further details about the incident, British news agencies reported that Timms was stabbed twice in the abdomen. The suspect arrested in connection with the attack was reportedly an Asian woman with mental health problems.
54-year-old Stephen Timms, who was U.K. chief secretary to the Treasury under former Prime Minister Tony Blair, is currently the member of Parliament for the constituency of East Ham, which he has represented since May 1997. He was first elected to the British parliament in 1994 as a Labour MP for Newham North East.
Timms was the Financial Secretary to the Treasury until the Conservatives took power earlier in the week after successful power-sharing negotiations with the Liberal Democrats. He had secured a remarkable 70% of the vote polled in his constituency in last week's general elections, which saw the Labour party losing ground across the country.
