GLASGOW: A man stabbed six people including a policeman in the Scottish city of Glasgow on Friday before he was shot dead by police.
An eyewitness told Sky News she had seen several people covered in blood being treated by emergency services after the incident at a city centre hotel. Police listed the attacker as the only fatality, despite earlier media reports saying that he had killed two other people. Police Scotland assistant chief constable Steve Johnson said the incident had been contained and there was no wider risk to the public. Police said all the six wounded were men, including the officer who was in a stable condition. The hotel, the Park Inn by Radisson, had been used to house asylum seekers during the pandemic.
Last week, three people were stabbed to death in a park in the English town of Reading.
