The incident occurred on an early Friday afternoon at the Park Inn Hotel in central Glasgow, where refugees and asylum seekers were accommodated during the epidemic. The perpetrator, who was an asylum seeker, attacked with a knife and wounded six people, including an unarmed policeman arrived, after which he was shot by police.
Police confirmed that the attacker had mental problems. She informed that she was still checking the exact circumstances of the event and the use of weapons by the police.
Sky News said earlier this Saturday, a man who had arrived in the UK six months ago had been irrational for some time. He complained about the conditions in the hotel and the food, and threatened others living there. Other Sudanese reported that they were afraid of him.
According to the sources of this station, in the evening before the attack, some of the hotel guests expressed their concern about the mental state of the Sudanese, which was forwarded to an immigration officer, who late in the evening called the reception desk to tell employees about these concerns. And on Friday shortly before the attack, the clerk talked by phone with the later offender.
The Scottish police also reported that all those injured in the attack are still in the hospital, but their condition is stable.
