British police said on Monday that they were investigating a knife attack on a woman in a London park. Online footage showed her wearing a T-shirt printed with cartoons from the French magazine Charlie Hebdo targeted by jihadists.
Metropolitan Police said the 39-year-old woman was treated for minor injuries in the hospital after the attack on the speech corner in Hyde Park on Sunday afternoon.
A video posted on YouTube showed that a man wearing a hoodie approached a woman holding an umbrella and stabbed her, apparently several times.

The man then took off his hood and left.
The lady’s T-shirt was printed with the Charlie Hebdo logo and a cartoon depicting a Muslim man kissing a cartoonist’s slogan “Love is stronger than hate“(Love is stronger than hate).
She was bleeding on her face, and soon fell to the ground.
The Speaker’s Corner is a historic open-air debate venue where people can give speeches on any legal topic.
In January 2015, 12 staff members of the satirical weekly “Charlie Hebdo” were shot dead by two brothers who pledged allegiance to al Qaeda.
The gunmen said they were in retaliation for the magazine’s publication of many cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that Muslims found objectionable.
