“On suspicion of killing two people, the police arrested a 37-year-old man. In addition to killing two men, the attacker stabbed eight more people, including an 8-year-old boy,” the report says.

Today around 3:20 pm, the police received a message about an unknown man who, on the street of the Metallurgichesky district, threw himself at people with a knife.

“The victims of the aggressor were bystanders, to whom the man inflicted numerous stab wounds. As a result, two people died at the scene and eight were taken to hospital,” the police report.

On this fact, a criminal process has been opened under art. 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (premeditated murder).

The police are investigating all the circumstances of the case.

Eyewitnesses to the incident told RBC-Ukraine that the attacker screamed that he had allegedly received a message from God that he needed to kill 15 people today.

We recall, earlier in Kiev, at the Slavutich metro station, a 42-year-old man attacked a police officer because he made a comment about the absence of a mask. He did not want to comply with the quarantine requirements, and then threw a gas can in the face of the policeman. The attacker then tried to injure the policeman and passengers with a folding knife.

As RBC-Ukraine wrote, in October in Kiev, a man stabbed two passengers on a regular bus heading to Kharkov.
