Police identify the Glasgow attacker as an asylum seeker from Sudan / Day

As reported, on Friday at the hotel Park Inn, where asylum seekers are accommodated, police on Friday shot a man who had previously struck six people.

A police statement on Twitter said the attacker had been identified on the basis of data he had provided to the Interior Ministry this year when applying for asylum.

Police have said they will continue to investigate the circumstances of the Glasgow “incident”, including the use of police firearms.

The police state that what happened is not considered a terrorist act.

Among the victims are three asylum seekers and a police officer.

British media report that the hotel residents tried to warn the staff about the attacker’s mental condition before the incident.

He had previously told another hotel resident that he wanted to attack other asylum seekers, as well as hotel staff.

The Scottish Refugee Council has stated that it has repeatedly expressed concern about the accommodation of asylum seekers in hotels.
