A Sudanese migrant has been arrested after a barbaric video shows someone seemingly trying to behead another man in the middle of a UK street in scenes likened to “something out of a horror movie.”
The horrific footage shows the blood-soaked knifeman pinning down his victim in Northern Ireland late Monday in an attack a local politician also branded “barbaric” and “medieval.”
The bloodied victim desperately kicked his legs before the knifeman repeatedly stabbed him in the head and neck, the video shared by Turning Point UK shows.
“Get off him you f–king rat!” one woman shouted as the deranged attacker showed off his weapon — as a man yelled, “He’s trying to cut his head off. He’s slicing his head off.”
Horrified locals rushed over — and one clobbered the attacker with a stick as others tried to free his grip on the victim.
Northern Ireland police initially said “a man in his 30s, believed to be Somalian, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder” before clarifying he was Sudanese, blaming the mix-up on the “fast time investigation.”
Police have not revealed a motive or addressed if it is being treated as terrorism.
The victim, an unidentified local man in his 40s, was left with significant injuries to his face, neck and back, police said of the “brutal” attempted murder.
One resident told the Belfast Telegraph it was like “something out of a horror movie.”
“I’ve never seen anything like that in my life, it’s shocking,” another told the outlet.
One woman told the BBC she heard screams outside — and then saw children gathered in the street.
“I was just absolutely petrified,” one woman said, revealing she had “never seen anything like it.”
Local council member Paul McCusker told the BBC that at least one local woman was also hospitalized “because of the stress of witnessing such a brutal attack.”
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the attack, describing it as “sickening” and said he had “no tolerance for abhorrent scenes of violence like this on our streets.”
Democratic Unionist Party leader Gavin Robinson called it “barbaric” and “medieval.”
