A member of Parliament in the United Kingdom has called for authorities to come to terms with the negative effects of mass immigration after a Sudanese man who claimed asylum allegedly attempted to behead a man in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Monday night.
Gavin Robinson, a member of Parliament with the Democratic Unionist Party, told the House of Commons on Tuesday that the suspect was on a five-year visa and warned the attack "will have profound implications for community cohesion in this country," according to the BBC.
Robinson called the attack "chilling" and "medieval" and urged the government to realize that "uncontrolled immigration needs to end."
"The perpetrator living in the U.K. under a five-year visa needs to be convicted and deported on the first flight out on a one-way ticket," he said, while also urging for calm.
Graphic video widely circulating online shows the attacker, confirmed by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) on Tuesday to be a 30-year-old Sudanese man, straddling the body of a man in his 40s while hacking at his bloodied face and neck with a kitchen knife.
Intervening bystanders, including one using a hurling stick, tackled the attacker and held him until police arrived, the video shows.
PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher said that the suspect, who was arrested and charged Tuesday with attempted murder, is believed to have arrived in Belfast by bus in February 2023 after traveling from Sudan to Paris, and then from Paris to Dublin, according to The Telegraph.
Boutcher said the suspect had been given leave to remain the U.K. until 2028 after claiming asylum in September 2023.
The incident, which reportedly left the victim with "serious injuries" to his face, eyes, neck and back, has shaken the U.K., where major outlets such as the BBC and The Telegraph have been running live blogs detailing the latest developments in the story.
