1 dead, 7 injured following stabbing in central England as police hunt for suspect

Police in Birmingham in central England said they were seeking a single suspect in relation to a series of stabbings in the early hours of Sunday that resulted in the death of one man and left another seven injured, two of them seriously.

The victims of the attacks appeared to be randomly selected, police said, and the incidents did not target any one community or appear to be gang related.

Superintendent Steve Graham said the incident was being treated as a homicide and investigated by West Midlands Police, stressing that "there's absolutely no suggestion at all that this is terror related."

A knife was visible to a Reuters witness beside a drain in Edmund Street.
West Midlands Mayor Andy Street said the series of incidents in the Hurst Street area of the city centre appeared to be related, but the motivation for them was not yet understood.

WOW! Global has a story about England. I'm impressed. You kinda missed what's going on there for the last 4 years.

You dont think its important to show the person who police are looking for? Maybe someone who is watching this could identify him.

[pauljansen]

how come i don't see any BBC footage on this tragedy?

[jeffreygoggin]

Not terror related the man that did this LOVES every body

[everready]

Good bye England. You've lost your country.

[heckler]

If one is dead, why are there two tents that appear to be covering bodies?

[garrett]

Perhaps if you weren't so busy with thought criminals (critical thinkers), you could get a handle on the real crime committed every day. Not terrorism related without a suspect? This is exactly why you have the problems you have. Cheers!

Hang about, hang about. You're saying this wasn't an accident?

As soon as Winston had dealt with each of the messages, he clipped his speakwritten corrections to the appropriate copy of The Times and pushed them into the pneumatic tube. Then, with a movement which was as nearly as possible unconscious, he crumpled up the original message and any notes that he himself had made, and dropped them into the memory hole to be devoured by the flames.
