The crossbow attacker shot dead by armed police today has been pictured.

Bryce Hodgson, 30, was killed by armed officers after he was caught trying to force his way into a three-storey home in Surrey Quays, Southwark, on Tuesday at around 5am.

Two people with minor injuries were rescued from the flat that crossbow-wielding Hodgson attacked.

Investigators said he had an arsenal of weapons including at least two crossbows, a knife and an axe, and was wearing body armour.
