Australian woman and New Zealand man among the injured

People of all nationalities were injured in the attack on London Bridge on Saturday night.

Candice Hedge, from Australia, was stabbed in the throat with a 12-inch knife and is recovering in hospital, while Oliver Dowling remains in a coma after being stabbed in the face. German, French, Canadian and Spanish citizens are understood to have been injured, as well as British police officers.

Hedge, 31, was eating a meal with her boyfriend when an attacker came up behind her and slashed her neck. Luckily, the knife missed her major arteries and windpipe. She was in a coma but is now awake and recovering. She posted on Facebook: "Hey everyone, just so you know I'm doing OK. Bit of pain but I will survive. Thanks for your thoughts and well wishes. Love to all."

Oliver Dowling, from Christchurch, New Zealand, and his girlfriend Marie Bondeville were injured in the attack. His sister posted on Facebook that he had been stabbed in the face, neck and stomach but was stable and in an induced coma. She wrote: "Doctors are very happy with how he's come out the other side. "A massive thank you to the University of London Hospital for their tireless efforts in helping my brother out."

Germans are among those injured in the attack in London, including one who is seriously injured, according to the foreign ministry. In total seven people were killed and dozens injured.
