London - A man was arrested on Friday during a police search in southwest London linked to the anti-terror investigation, police said.

A spokeswoman for London's Metropolitan Police said the arrest occurred during a search of an address in the Stockwell area of south London, where one man was shot and killed by police in a subway station earlier in the day.

"Officers attended an address in connection with the ongoing investigation" into attacks staged on Thursday on London Underground trains and a bus.

"Detectives have searched the premises and one man has been arrested," the spokeswoman said.
