A Somalian man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a knife attack in Belfast.
The suspect is in custody after a man in his 40s was taken to hospital with “significant injuries” to his face, neck and back.
Footage shared on social media appeared to show an individual pinning the man to the ground before stabbing him in the head several times.

Those who intervened and smashed a shovel over the attackers’ head are heroes
