LONDON (AP) - An armed man went on a stabbing rampage in north London Thursday, killing one person and critically injuring at least five others, police said.

Metropolitan Police said they began receiving reports of stabbings outside train stations and on streets in the Edmonton, Enfield and Harringay areas starting around 8:20 a.m.

A 29-year-old man, a 30-year-old woman, 40-year-old man and 30-year-old man were among those targeted by the man, who police believe was driving a car and pulling off the road to stab his victims.

One man died at Whipps Cross hospital in Leytonstone, and North Middlesex Hospital said it was treating five people for critical injuries.

Police arrested a male suspect in the area where the stabbings occurred.
