Man Stabs Three People While Shouting “Allahu Akbar” Before Being Shot by Police
A man was shot by armed police on Monday evening after stabbing three people during a violent rampage in a busy city centre, authorities have confirmed. The incident, which unfolded shortly after 6pm, sparked widespread panic as witnesses reported the attacker shouting “Allahu Akbar” while lunging at members of the public.
Attack Unfolds in Minutes
According to eyewitness accounts, the suspect — described as in his late 20s to early 30s — began attacking pedestrians near a shopping district, seemingly targeting people at random. Emergency calls flooded police switchboards as bystanders attempted to flee the area.
A shop owner described the chaos:
“People were running everywhere. I saw a man on the ground bleeding, and the attacker was still shouting and swinging the knife.”
Police Response
Armed officers arrived within minutes. When confronted, the attacker reportedly refused to drop his weapon and advanced toward officers, leading police to open fire. The suspect was struck and immediately detained by armed units at the scene.
He was taken to hospital under police guard. His condition has not been disclosed.
Victims in Hospital
Three people suffered stab wounds, with one believed to be in serious but stable condition. The other two sustained non-life-threatening injuries. All were rushed to nearby hospitals, where emergency teams said they were receiving “urgent and appropriate care.”
Counter-Terrorism Investigating
Police have not yet confirmed a motive, but due to the nature of the attack and the phrase shouted during the incident, counter-terrorism officers have been called in to lead the investigation.
A spokesperson emphasised that detectives are keeping an “open mind” and are working to establish whether the attack was ideologically motivated, an act of lone-actor extremism, or related to mental health issues.
Public Urged to Stay Calm
Authorities have urged the public not to speculate as the investigation continues. Additional patrols have been deployed across the city to reassure residents and deter potential further incidents.
The Home Secretary issued a brief statement late Monday night, calling the attack “deeply disturbing” and pledging full support to emergency services and investigators.
