A group of bystanders and firefighters managed to pinn the attacker to the ground and held him down with a crate and a pair of chairs until police arrived to arrest him.
Praising their actions, superintendent Gavin Wood said: “To approach a person, with clear evidence of a stabbing, these people are heroes.”
Authorities are still in the dark over the “causation or rationale” for the attack. However, Wood announced that the suspect acted “on his own” and had no accomplices.
