A Thomas Cook spokesman said: “Thomas Cook is aware of a knife attack that has taken place on the beach in Hurghada in Egypt.
“We are working with our team on the ground to gather further information. At this stage, there is no indication that any British tourists are involved.”
Hours earlier five police were shot dead in the city of Giza by suspected Islamic militants.
This picture shows the purported attacker being taken away.
