Five men (two aged 22, and others aged 24, 27, and 39) sustained injuries. Three of the victims required hospital treatment, though none of the injuries are considered life-threatening, so that’s good.
Unfortunately something like this was always inevitable with the sh1t-stirring being done by Tommy Robinson, Rupert Lowe, Nigel Farage and co. I wonder if the five injured men were even all Muslim, or whether this lunatic just stabbed five random brown guys?
Counter Terrorism Policing Scotland has taken charge of the investigation in collaboration with local Police Scotland officers.

No one should face violence on our streets. The suspect appears to be motivated by anti-Muslim hatred. I will not tolerate this – he will face the full force of the law.
My thoughts are with those who are injured and I thank the police and the emergency…
Should have more info on the attacker soon. The good news is that no one was seriously hurt so it was a bit of a fail as far as terror attacks go. Is it even fair to categorise it as such? That seems to be the debate that’s happening on X at the moment, as well as some degree of meltdown over the media describing the attack as ‘white’. Mad times we live in.
For the time Tommy Robinson was hawking ‘patriotic’ clothing made in Bangladesh, click HERE. Proper patriot.
