Armed police in Birmingham finally arrested a ‘squirming’ suspect, responsible for a major stabbing incident.
According to reports, the British police dragged him away from his home, while in Pajamas. The entire episode took place in an early morning raid, just one day after a horrifying stabbing ordeal.
The terrifying stabbing spree event occurred at a city center. Moreover, it left one man dead while 7 others injured. Reports expressed how the suspect was ‘terrified’ to see armed police barge into his home at 4 am, near Selly Oak. This was just 3 miles away from where the gruesome stabbing incident took place.
Meanwhile, sources confirmed how the series of random attacks occurred over 90 minutes, in four different areas. The shocking incident left many bewildered, ordering immediate arrest of the culprit. Hence, a massive search operation began, hunting for the killer knifeman.
Officials are calling out law enforcement agencies for delayed action. Above all, it’s unbelievable how they let the killing spree take place for more than two hours. During the harrowing episode, one 23-year-old man lost his life, while several others got injured.
Amongst those injured, many are still at the hospital, under strict medical attention. Above all, another victim is in ‘critical condition’ due to suffering major injuries.
On the other hand, plenty of witnesses came forward to reveal how they saw ‘the chilling suspect’ carry out his knife rampage. Some even went on to reveal how he brutally struck random victims. In particular, he aimed for danger spots such as their heads and their neck.
Residents in the vicinity explained how they woke up to loud sounds and shouts of armed policemen, during the suspect’s raid.
And that’s when they dragged him out of his bed, tying him up in handcuffs. Meanwhile, other locals couldn’t believe the suspect was living amongst them. ‘It’s terrifying to think that he was amongst us all, this whole time,’ claimed one neighbor.
While the police continue to rule out terrorism from the case, it’s still not clear what was the actual motive for the stabbing case.
