"Sudanese suspect in Belfast knife attack was an asylum seeker when he arrived in UK on bus from Dublin - as he is charged with attempted murder
A Sudanese man has been charged with attempted murder after a 'knife attack' in Belfast.
The 30-year-old, who has not yet been named by police, will appear at Belfast Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
He has also been charged with possession of an article with blade or point in a public place and making threats to kill.
PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher said the suspect is believed to have travelled from Sudan to Paris, and then from Paris to Dublin before taking a bus to Belfast in February 2023 - taking advantage of the Common Travel Area.
There, he immediately claimed asylum, before he was given leave to remain in the UK in September 2023, lasting for five years.
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.
Social media footage shows a man standing astride a bloodied victim holding a knife to his throat and his fist in the air.
Heroic bystanders then intervene, with one man hitting the suspect with a hurling stick. Police said a kitchen knife was recovered from the scene on Kinnaird Avenue, in the north of Belfast. They do not believe the attack was terror related."

Just an exchange of cultures. BTW- The Irish are rioting and rightfully so.
