A man is set to appear in court charged with attempted murder over a stabbing attack in Belfast on Monday night.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old accused, who is Sudanese, is also charged with possession of an article with a blade or point in a public place and making threats to kill.<\/p>\n
He is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates’ Court later.<\/p>\n
The victim of the attack, a man aged in his 40s, remains in a serious condition in hospital receiving treatment for serious eye, face and back wounds.<\/p>\n
Detectives have said there is no indication the incident was terror-related.<\/p>\n
The PSNI launched a “critical incident” in response to the incident, which was captured on video.<\/p>\n
The clip shows people intervening to stop a man attacking another individual lying on the ground in the Kinnaird Avenue residential area close in north Belfast.<\/p>\n
A kitchen knife was recovered from the scene.<\/p>\n
Police revealed details on the arrested man’s immigration status and how he travelled to the UK.<\/p>\n
He entered Northern Ireland across the Irish border in February 2023 having flown to Dublin from Paris.<\/p>\n
The suspect claimed asylum upon arrival and in September 2023 was granted leave to remain in the UK until 2028.<\/p>\n
Police have asked anyone with footage of the incident or who witnessed it to contact them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man is set to appear in court charged with attempted murder over a stabbing attack in Belfast…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":491974,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-491973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=491973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491973\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/491974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=491973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=491973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=491973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
