London, September 6, 2020 – Fear tonight a Birmingham, in central England, where several people were stabbed. And of one dead and seven wounded The budget, West Midlands police announced late in the morning, explaining that the clashes lasted two hours from midnight and a half to 2.30 in four or five points in the city. Among the injured are two “in serious condition,” a man and a woman, said Superintendent Steve Graham who spoke of “tragic and shocking events.” The police at first thought of “a link” between fights and assaults in the nightlife area of the English city. Hypothesis that seems to fade with the passing of the hours. Chancellor and number 2 of the British government of Boris Johnson, Dominic Raab, said this morning that he had no “no information” on any terrorist hypothesis. However, Raab defined the incident as a “very serious” episode and urged citizens to “watch” and avoid the area.
The investigations
The hypothesis that it was a single person – identified as a young fugitive, still wanted – the perpetrator of the stabbings. This was suggested by a local police officer, answering questions from journalists, not excluding that other suspects could be identified. According to a first reconstruction, they would have been “random” attacks. The fights denounced by some witnesses would have been, instead, collateral tensions, caused by the unrest in an area where many young people gathered, in a climate of alcoholic overexcitement, on the busiest night since the end of the confinement. The police also reiterated that they had “absolutely no indication” of any terrorist motive or an ethnic-denominational hate crime. Not even the wake of revenge among the youth gangs is confirmed, while that of a raptus remains standing.
