London police said on Tuesday that they were not treating an incident of a man crashing a car into a building and then attacking people and police with a sword as terrorism-related.
He was arrested soon after.
A 14-year-old boy wounded in the attack later succumbed to his injuries in hospital, police said a few hours after the attack.
The London Ambulance Service said paramedics treated five people and took them to hospital.
"This must have been a terrifying incident for those concerned," Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan said. He said he knew the community would want more information and that police would provide it as soon as possible.
In the shorter term, he indicated investigators believed the danger to have passed.
"We are not looking for more suspects. This incident does not appear to be terror-related," he said.
