"He was taken to a hospital for treatment where he remains at this time. Enquiries into the circumstances surrounding the incident are ongoing."
The attack comes as London is expected to be extremely busy over the bank holiday weekend, as mourners arrive in the capital to mark the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Thousands are currently lining the streets, in an 11 hour queue, to see the Queen before her funeral on Monday.
