— GB News (@GBNEWS) October 28, 2025Chief Superintendent Jill Horsfall described the incident as “a shocking and senseless act of violence that has left one man dead and two others injured.” She added that the attack “will have understandably caused concern to the local community” and that additional officers would remain in the area “to provide reassurance while detectives work intensely to piece together the circumstances.”
Local resident Ben James, 28, told reporters that his family member witnessed the suspect “come out of a House in Multiple Occupation [HMO] screaming and shouting.” When James arrived at the scene an hour later, he said there were “piles of blood” and “two people on the floor.” He added, “It’s a bit scary, but it’s becoming the normal round here.”
Another witness, mother-of-two Sinead Clarke, 36, said she saw police chase and taser the suspect. “There was a man running away from the police. The police tasered him and arrested him. I think there were four people chasing him,” she said, adding that she turned up the television to distract her young children from the scene.
