A Sudanese man has been arrested after an attempted “beheading” in Belfast last night that left a man in his 40s with serious injuries in a “critical” condition. The Mail has more.
The graphic scenes of violence unfolded outside an apartment block on Kinnaird Avenue, in the north of the city, at around 10.30pm on Monday.
Hero bystanders were seen attempting to intervene, with one seen striking the man repeatedly with a hurling stick. Others in footage circulating on social media today wrestled the suspected attacker to the ground.
A man in his 40s was rushed to hospital with serious injuries to his face, neck and back, and is said to be in a “critical” condition.
A Sudanese man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Police have declared the attack a “critical incident” and are urgently investigating, with both men said to live locally.
Officers originally said the suspect was believed to be Somali, but later confirmed he is actually from Sudan.
Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch are leading calls for more information about the suspect to be released immediately, with the Reform UK leader saying the public “are entitled to the truth” about the “identity and status of the attacker”.
The leader of the DUP Gavin Robinson said the stabbing was “barbaric” and “medieval”, while X owner Elon Musk responded to a picture of the attack – which called for “consequences” for politicians over immigration – and said: “That day cannot come soon enough.”
The horrifying video appears to show a man sitting astride a victim lying on the ground and stabbing him to the head and neck area, as bystanders shout at him to stop. One man can be heard saying: “He’s trying to cut his head off.”
Several men then approach the attacker and try to intervene, by striking and wrestling him for several seconds before the first officers arrived at the scene.
There has been widespread shock and condemnation of the incident and residents have been praised by police and politicians for their bravery.
Anti-immigration activists have called for mass protests in Belfast this evening, with fears of widespread disorder as a result. Some posts online called for men over 18 to attend, wear dark clothing and “be prepared to fight or be arrested”.
Sir Keir Starmer described the attack as “sickening” and said he will have “absolutely no tolerance for abhorrent scenes of violence like this on our streets”.
He added: “My thoughts are first and foremost with the victim, and I thank the first responders, including members of the public who intervened.”
In a tweet Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said: “What happened in Belfast last night is horrific. The authorities must reveal the identity and status of the attacker immediately. The public are entitled to the truth.”

Stop Press: The suspect is an asylum seeker granted leave to remain in the UK in 2023, PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher has said.
Chief Constable Jon Boutcher told a press conference: “It is my understanding that the suspect was granted leave to remain in the UK on September 28th 2023.
“Again, this is to be confirmed but I am informed that he made his way from Sudan to Paris at dates unknown and from Paris he flew to Dublin at a date yet to be determined.
“From my current understanding he then travelled from Dublin to Belfast by bus on Febraury 10th 2023 and claimed asylum that date.
“There is no trace of this suspect on any of our national security databases and he was not known to the police service of Northern Ireland.”

It is a bit suspicious that the Sudanese chose a very public place with Irish people around to carry out this attack, openly looking at the camera while brandishing his knife, and that it just happened to be filmed by an Irish passerby, and that the passerby kept veering the video AWAY from the attack at crucial moments for no reason, and that this attack has instantly drawn attention away from the Lying Sikh Coward who murdered Henry Nowak.
FFS Heretic.
I worry for you.
Was he a willing patsy recruited to deflect from the Nowak sh1tshow? C’mon Heretical sceptic, heal thyself.
And who gave leave to remain to that monster? Step forward the previous Conservative Gov?
Cowards!
I always wonder why people don’t ask more questions about the assessment process.There are videos on Tik Tok telling the asylum seekers what exactly to say about being persecuted to the interviewer. GB news has featured this. These people probably run rings around the assessors. I have experience of assessing tricky clever people who want to game the system. I’d like to know the details of recruitment and training of these interviewers. Are they all left wing? What experience do they have?
Are they taking bribes, like one female Ethnic Indian immigration officer a few years ago? Here’s another more recent case:
UK: Home Office official jailed in asylum-for-money bribe case – InfoMigrants
The reason is the senior civil servants in Whitehall.
The Home Office is a rats nest of ‘business units’ run by senior civil servants who are the best possible managers in the world to the degree the entire Home Office is a total mess.
If someone nuked the Home Office tomorrow no one would notice any difference nor indeed might notice anything at all.
Have you seen the citizenship test? Apparently, knowing the Scottish church is Presbyterian and the steeplechase in Liverpool is the Grand National gets you two percentage points closer to the passport.
But there are a few questions I wasn’t sure of, so although I’m definitely English, perhaps I’m not quite as British as I thought I was.
If anyone asks me who won the cup final I will be on the first boat to Rwanda.
Politician’s response a plea for calm. When the brutality imported to this country comes to public view there is a limit to turning the cheek. How more atrocities before our politicians show they care. A plea for calm is an admission of impotence. Impotence generated by their reluctance to accept that their beliefs are wrong.
AIM HIGH VOTE LOWE MILLIONS MUST GO!!!
Unfortunately the people who support and instigate mass migration are burying their collective heads in the sand and imply that anyone who is upset or uses this as an argument against immigration is a Neanderthal. Of all the commentary I have heard on this by lefties does not in the slightest show any concern for the safety of the population. Just like the sad case of Henry Nowak, the bombings, street attacks, beheading in the streets or the girls that were slaughtered they couch their commentary in ways that show no regret and try to shift the blame onto those who are outraged.
it does seem that the people in government and their supporters have no intention whatsoever of taking any serious steps to put a stop to these atrocities.
Here’s the unredacted video. There’s only one person exhibiting neanderthal behaviour here. Careful, it’s not pleasant but I think we have to see and not forget how sick this animal is.

Some reports from Belfast say that the Demonic Filth first stabbed the poor victim IN BOTH EYES, so that he couldn’t even see to defend himself, and that he may be BLIND FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.
Bring back PUBLIC HANGING for crimes like this.
We already know what TTK is going to say it will be an amalgam of “full force of the law” “thoughts and Prayers” let me be very clear” “right wing thugs” “Nigel Farage” …… then he and the clowns around him at H0C will DO NOTHING.
How lucky we are to have been so enriched by the importation of the dregs of the 3rd world.
Land Whale Justice Minister for Northern Ireland, of the Weedy Wet Liberal “Alliance Party”, believed to be female, immediately voiced concern for the “frightened” immigrant community:
Belfast stabbing LIVE: Sudanese suspect ‘was given leave to remain’ as police issue update | UK | News | Express.co.uk
Naomi Long said, “…People from ethnic minority backgrounds will be VERY FRIGHTENED about any kind of retaliation or BACKLASH AGAINST THEM“, and said all Northern Ireland’s political parties agree that “WE NEED TO STOP THESE DANGEROUS NARRATIVES and weaponizing what is already a horrific attack”.”
Is it now illegal to carry a dangerous narrative? My sympathies are 100% with the poor victim and so should hers be. Virtue signalling on stilts.
“Dangerous narratives” indeed as per the word salad – must be the only salad she comes close to – put out by the salad dodger Naomi Long.
🤣
Holy F! Look at the nick of that thing!
Now I like a voluptuous lady, but that lump is disgusting. Her poor heart!
She’ll probably be the next Health Minister.
People who cannot control themselves love to try and control others.
Naomi Long said, “…People from ethnic minority backgrounds will be VERY FRIGHTENED about any kind of retaliation or BACKLASH AGAINST THEM“, and said all Northern Ireland’s political parties agree that “WE NEED TO STOP THESE DANGEROUS NARRATIVES and weaponizing what is already a horrific attack”.”
Oh dear, how sad, couldn’t give a shit.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries. 10.7 Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies.
The United Nations snake oil promises Utopia if you just hand over your country and put your trust in it.
Sir Keir Starmer has stated that he has “absolutely no tolerance for abhorrent scenes of violence like this on our streets”. More weasel words. If he really had such abhorrence for such behaviour he would be stopping these murderers coming into this country. On second thoughts, I wonder if he is referring to those, especially the fellow with the hurling stick, who committed violence in trying to disarm the attacker.
Expressing “absolutely no tolerance for abhorrent scenes of violence like this on our streets” is easy. Doing something about it is not easy, with modern politicians sadly unwilling to step up.
If legislation and other agreements prevent taking action (a common excuse) then change the legislation. Duh.
Legislation is not the answer and neither is it required. All that is required is a PM who comes out with a statement that says
“Enough is enough. All illegals will be rounded up and shipped to Afghanistan, all other recent arrivals not in work will have benefits cancelled and three months to find work or they will be shipped out. Any, absolutely any crime will result in automatic and immediate deportation. There will be no recourse to the British legal system.”
That will bring matters under control.
Blah, blah, blah as Greta would say …
Or “How dare you! How very dare you!“
Which scenes of violence? Henry Nowak being stabbed to death? The attempted beheading in Northern Ireland? The slaughter of Lee Rigby? The murder of three little girls aged as young as six in Southport? The London Bridge knife attacks? The 7/7 bombings? The murders of Jews in Manchester? The knifings of Jews in Golders Green?
Actually no. Queer Stalin is not decrying any of those attacks at all but just the angry reactions to his policies which lets Muslim terrorists and loonies into the UK to murder us.
DEI and wokism kills. They kill white people in the UK. They kill Jews in the UK.
Keir Starmer’s politics kill. They kill British people in the UK.
I hear that nasty little minx Yvette Allo Allo Cooper is close to resigning from Starmer’s government after spending a day in talks with the Australians and the now resigned Defence Secretary John Healey.
They were apparently telling the Australians about the UK’s commitment to defence spending and how the AUKUS alliance is safe with them.
I do hope she goes and takes her “Migrants are welcome here” sign with her.
Perhaps my PM but never my ‘sir’.
Much like Sadiq, that tiny man.
This specific psychopath is reported to have travelled from Dublin, for some reason, then was given leave to remain in NI. Anyway, JIm speaks the truth. Where is the accountability? I dread to think what’ll happen to the UK if Reform don’t win;
”The failure to secure the border runs from Blair through Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Sunak and now Starmer. Robert Jenrick as Immigration Minister oversaw small boat crossings surge from 299 in 2018 to over 45,000 in 2022. The £10 billion in asylum accommodation contracts was a Conservative legacy that Labour has continued and expanded. The difference is this. Labour came to power promising to smash the gangs and stop the boats. Those were not vague aspirations. They were specific commitments made to the British public in exchange for their votes.
The boats have not stopped. The gangs have not been smashed. The asylum hotels are being emptied not because the problem is being solved but because those individuals are being moved into Houses of Multiple Occupation and dispersed into communities across the country. They are no longer concentrated in hotels. They are living among us. Unvetted. Unsupervised. And largely invisible to the statistics that might otherwise… Read more »

Same names, same prejudices.🤷♀️ And always the same few individuals on here who ever demonstrate anything resembling objectivity.🧐”
Was there a point to that you’d care to elaborate on?
Another day another stabbing, slashing, hacking.
I can’t listen to the ritual, pious litany of horror and condemnation recited by the palpably insincere political creatures who have enabled, supported, defended, legislated, promoted the root cause – multiculturalism.
We are horrified obviously and expect everyone else to be, but there are people out there who are going to put this down, to some degree, to the general injustice and inequality of the world and how it drives people to this sort of behaviour.
And their solution will be not to punish barbarism for what it is, but to double our efforts to eradicate “inequality” and “injustice” in the world
And even more chillingly, there are a lot of people within the establishment who think that way. Which, of course, is the root problem.
Thomas Sowell’s A Conflict of Visions posits that political conflicts stem not from differing goals, but from opposing fundamental premises about human nature. The Constrained Vision views humans as inherently flawed and self-interested. The Unconstrained Vision views human nature as malleable, perfectible, and capable of vast moral improvement
Rousseau before him postulated the idea of the noble savage, born fundamentally good and corrupted by society.
This is the belief our establishment demands us all to have.And if we don’t play along, the police may be called in to intervene.
These ideas are firmly rooted in the liberal leftie brain and is difficult to correct. Even in a person willing to learn it is difficult but when confronted by the lefties it is impossible. They have been peddling their nonsense for the past 100 or more years and despite their experiment failing at every step they still insist on spreading their deranged bigotry. Their ideas are base on primitive societies that have existed in small numbers but which are completely opposite to how large societies function. They exploit the natural tendencies of people to defend the status quo in society in order to protect their tribe. This event will be judged on the norms of a large society and the perpetrator will be deemed insane by our standards. But by his and his tribes standards, which have been formed over 1000s of years it is quite normal. Yet Mr Starmer and the other lunatics such as Benn will keep peddling their bigotry until society stops then either at an election or by some other method, I hope it is the former but I fear the worst!
‘Jesus was a migrant’. ‘Hope not Hate’.
The road to hell is paved with Labour Party politicians.
And Weedy Wet Liberal Women.
What shameless liars they are! Jesus sent out his disciples to bring the gospel of Repentance and Salvation to ALL OF HUMANITY.
He did NOT tell them to bring ALL OF HUMANITY back to live in the disciples’ villages.
Who wants these animals here? can they please stand up so we can ship them all to their house!!
The “Be kind” NIMBY socialist oikophobe w⚓⚓ do.
So this man carried out an attack in the exact manner mimed by former Labour Councillor Ricky Jones addressing a pro-Islamist demonstration in Walthamstow. (As a defenceless woman had been murdered in nearby Enfield). Despite video evidence, Jones was cleared of incitement. When are we going to wake up?
Hurling stick man will be arrested and charged.
You beat me to it. As night follows day.
would anyone be surprised. Want to bet that the creature attempting the head removal will be found to be suffering from “mental elf” issues.
Still no doubt we will all be told to not look back in anger, whilst we wait for the next incident.
The Ulster folk DO look back in anger.
This could get lively.
Unconfirmed reports online say that Vikram Singh Digwa has been accidentally scalded in prison, when a fellow inmate accidentally splashed accidentally boiling sugar water accidentally all over his face.
Tragic.
🤞🏻
Prof Betz has predicted that the coming civil war is quite likely to start in Ireland (Eire or NI).
Well, whatever it is, it is most definitely our strength.
So I’m told.
What a hero he is! May God bless that Hurling Stick Man!
I’m already predicting a ‘mental health’ diagnosis.
Shame he didn’t finish the job and do the World a favour.
