TEHRAN, Jan 1-Three people have been hospitalized in the British city of Manchester after they were attacked by a stabber.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Three people have been hospitalized in the British city of Manchester after they were attacked by a stabber.
Counter Terrorism Policing North West launched an investigation after the Monday attack at Victoria Station while Greater Manchester Police said "there is no intelligence to suggest that there is any wider threat at this time."
A video released on Snapchat later showed a man being bundled into a police van while purportedly shouting "Allahu Akbar."
"As long as you keep bombing other countries this sort of sh*t is going to keep happening," the attacker reportedly said, according to an eye witness speaking to Mirror. "What it looked like was a guy in his 60s with a woman of similar age and another guy all dressed in black… It looked like they were having a fight but she was screaming in this blood curdling way… I saw police in high-viz come towards him… He came towards me. I looked down and saw he had a kitchen knife with a black handle with a good, 12-inch blade… It was just fear, pure fear.”
The man and woman, who are in their 50s, launched the attack at about 20:50 GMT.
Among those injured was a British Transport Police officer, who was stabbed in the shoulder.
A man has been held on suspicion of attempted murder as efforts are reportedly under way to find the motive of the attack.
