A police officer who was seriously injured while dealing with a knife attack in the Scottish city of Glasgow said on Saturday that the incident could have been a lot worse had it not been for the swift actions of his colleagues.
A man stabbed six people at a hotel in the city centre on Friday before he was shot dead by police. The attacker was the only person killed, and police said they were not looking for any other suspects and were not treating the incident as terrorism.
“Despite suffering serious injuries myself, I know that the swift actions of colleagues saved lives and prevented a far more serious incident,” he said. The hotel where the attack took place was being used to house asylum seekers during the coronavirus pandemic. Authorities cautioned against speculating about a motive.
