               Police Step up Patrols after Underground Stabbing

   by Associated Press

   Police in London are stepping up patrols at transport hubs after a
   stabbing at an Underground station in which a man brandishing a knife
   reportedly said, "This is for Syria."

   Police say 29-year-old Muhaydin Mire, 29, will appear at Westminster
   Magistrates Court on Monday accused of attempted murder. Police
   increased patrols to "identify and deter terrorism" after the incident
   Saturday in east London.

   British media distributed video shot by witnesses in which a bystander
   can be heard shouting at the suspect: "You ain't no Muslim, bruv." The
   phrase, using slang for "brother," was quickly picked up by Twitter
   users, who turned it into a trending hashtag.

   The incident comes just days after Parliament approved British
   airstrikes on Islamic State group targets in Syria.
