Police in Northern Ireland have arrested a man in his 30s, believed to be of Somali origin, on suspicion of attempted murder. The arrest follows a violent stabbing in Belfast on Monday night. The victim-a man in his 40s-suffered serious injuries to his face, neck, and back.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has declared the assault a "critical incident" and is working to establish a motive. A knife was recovered at the scene in the New Lodge area.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the attack "horrific," and Northern Ireland's First Minister Michelle O'Neill described it as "harrowing." Far-right figures have amplified the graphic video, calling for protests.
