London: UK police said a murder inquiry has been launched on Sunday after one man was killed and seven people injured in multiple stabbings overnight in the city of Birmingham.
According to reports, West Midlands Police believe the victims were picked at random and do not believe the incident was terror or gang related.
While a man and a woman are battling serious injuries, the injuries of five others are not thought to be life-threatening, the force said. A hunt has been initiated for a male suspect, who is believed to have gone on a stabbing spree, starting at Constitution Hill in Birmingham. “The events during the early hours of this morning are tragic, shocking and understandably frightening,” said Chief Superintendent Steve Graham, responsible for policing in Birmingham.
