Earlier today, a serious incident occurred near Somerset House, adjacent to King's College London.

Tragically, a woman was pronounced dead at the scene, and three others sustained injuries.

An individual has been arrested in connection with the incident and remains in custody as police investigations continue. This incident is not being treated as terrorism-related.

Student wellbeing and safety are our top priorities. If you have been affected by this tragic event, the following resources are available to you:

• The Counselling and Mental Health Support Service offers free and confidential in-person and online support for students at King’s.

• Togetherall is a website that provides free and confidential 24/7 digital mental health support services.

We will continue to speak to the University about any additional support and will provide further updates, as required.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this incident.
