Northern Ireland: Somali man slits white man's throat in the street.
Irish culture is becoming richer.
Contrary to what the far right says, there have always been Somalis in Ireland who slit people's throats in the street.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following what police describe as a "brutal" knife attack in Belfast, during which bystanders had to struggle to wrest it from the victim.
A man in his thirties, whom police believe to be of Somali origin, remains in custody following the incident in north Belfast at around 10:30 p.m. (BST) on Monday.
A video circulating online shows several people, including one armed with a hurling stick, confronting the alleged assailant until the police arrived.
The injured man, in his forties, is hospitalized and his condition is described as serious. He suffered significant injuries to his face, neck, and back.
Northern Ireland Police Service (PSNI) Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson said that "a critical incident" had been declared and that police had "launched an investigation to establish a motive."
Mr. Henderson indicated that police were on the scene within minutes and praised members of the public "who tried to save the man from another attack."
He said they had shown "courage and community spirit." He asked people not to share images of the attack.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer described the incident as "outrageous," adding that he would have "absolutely no tolerance for such scenes of heinous violence in our streets."
Northern Ireland's Justice Minister, Naomi Long, praised the "brave people who disarmed the attacker."
“I ask people not to share the very graphic images and videos of the attack,” she said. “They are deeply shocking and traumatic to watch,” she added.
The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) received an emergency call at 10:39 p.m. (BST), after which an ambulance and a specialist paramedic were dispatched to the scene. Following assessment and initial treatment at the scene, the victim was transported to the Royal Victoria Hospital.
The Deputy First Minister described it as a "shocking and brutal act of violence," adding that her thoughts were with the victim of this "savage and barbaric attack. This hateful act has no place in our society, and certainly not on the streets of Northern Ireland," said Emma Little-Pengelly.
It seems this act of hatred was roaming freely in the streets of Belfast, far from his native Somalia.
