Extra: Belfast ‘attempted beheading’ - Keir Starmer condemns ‘sickening’ incident amid calls for calm

A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a serious incident in north Belfast on Monday night.  Video posted to social media appears to show a man stabbing another man several times in the head with a knife. One man can be heard saying in the video: ‘He’s trying to cut his head off.’ The Belfast Telegraph understands police recovered a knife at the scene. The PSNI said this afternoon that the suspect’s nationality is Sudanese and “not Somalian as initially believed”. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has called the attack “sickening”, while DUP leader Gavin Robinson told the BBC Nolan Show the incident was “barbaric” and “medieval”.
