Keir Starmer condemns 'sickening' Belfast attack after man seriously ...
Sir Keir Starmer and police have called for calm after a stabbing attack condemned as “sickening” by the prime minister sent shockwaves through Belfast.
Officers have declared a critical incident
in response to the attack
, which took place on Monday night on Kinnaird Avenue, a residential part of the city.
Horrifying video circulating online, which is too graphic to publish in full, appears to show a man with a knife pinning another man down on the ground and repeatedly stabbing him.
Bystanders intervened, with one hitting the attacker over the head with a hurling stick, in an act which police say “undoubtedly saved the man’s life”.
A man in his thirties, who police say is a Sudanese asylum seeker, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following the incident, the
