UK counter-terrorism police probe New Year's Eve stabbings in Manchester
MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - British counter-terrorism police are investigating an attack by a man armed with a kitchen knife at Manchester Victoria train station that injured three people, including a police officer, on New Year’s Eve.Greater Manchester Police said they were keeping an open mind about the motive, adding there was no intelligence to suggest a wider threat. A witness, a BBC producer who was at the station, said the man was armed with a large knife who linked his actions to "bombings in other countries". The suspect was arrested "within minutes", police said, and was being questioned in custody. Those injured, a woman and a man in their 50s, were in a serious but not life-threatening condition, police said. A male police officer in his 30s who sustained a stab wound to his shoulder was released from hospital early on Tuesday morning. Posted by: Besoeker 2019-01-01 |
