"This is for Syria!"
LONDON (ChurchMilitant.com) - A London Muslim has been charged with attempted murder after he repeatedly stabbed a man and slit his throat in a London subway station.
Muhaydin Mire, 29, was detained by police after he attacked a 56-year-old subway passenger in London's Leytonstone station Saturday night, stabbing him several times and slashing his neck while reportedly yelling "This is for Syria!"
After Mire had left his victim in a pool of blood, he was approached by a passerby who attempted to disarm him. The man, 33-year-old David Pethers, was himself slashed with the weapon before authorities arrived.
Police were confronted by the attacker, who threatened them with the weapon, which witnesses have described as a "long knife," appearing to be a machete. Authorities were able to subdue the suspect after tasing him several times and placed him under arrest.
One witness relayed hearing the suspect shout as he was escorted away by police, "This is what happens when you f*** with mother Syria. ... ll of your blood will be spilled!" to which bystanders retorted, "You're not Muslim."
A station shopkeeper described the entire ordeal as "terrifying" and recalled seeing the suspect "punching [the victim] so hard and when they fall on the floor he started kicking him" before "stabbing or cutting" the victim.
