British Soldier in Serious Condition After Stabbing Near Brompton Barracks, Mental Health Episode Suspected
Jul 24, 2024, 07:14 AM
A British soldier was stabbed outside Brompton Barracks in Gillingham, Kent, in what authorities have described as a 'horrific and unprovoked' attack. The soldier, who was in uniform at the time, was airlifted to a hospital and is currently in serious condition. Witnesses reported hearing 'blood-curdling screams' and saw the assailant 'ran his finger across the knife and licked it.' The Home Office has stated that the incident is not being treated as terror-related but may have been the result of a mental health episode. The Defence Secretary and other officials have expressed shock and condemnation over the attack. The suspect has been arrested, though no further details have been released. This incident follows another stabbing of a police officer in Durham on the same day.
