A second man has been arrested in connection with Friday’s attack on a London Tube train, police said.

The 21-year-old man was arrested in Hounslow, west London, on Saturday night on suspicion of a terror offence and is in custody in south London.

An 18-year-old man is also being held on suspicion of a terror offence over the Parsons Green explosion.

The terror threat level has now been lowered to “severe” from “critical”, Home Secretary Amber Rudd has said.

This means an attack is highly likely, and follows the terror threat level temporarily being raised to critical, meaning an attack may be imminent, on Friday evening.

Police are searching a residential address in Stanwell, Surrey, in connection with the 21-year-old man’s arrest.

Ms Rudd said that over the next few days the military would return to their original positions.
