A Sudanese migrant has been arrested after a barbaric video\u00a0shows\u00a0someone seemingly trying to behead another man in the middle of a UK street in scenes likened to \u201csomething out of a horror movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

The horrific footage shows the blood-soaked knifeman pinning down his victim in Northern Ireland late Monday in an attack a local politician also branded \u201cbarbaric\u201d and \u201cmedieval.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bloodied victim desperately kicked his legs before the knifeman repeatedly stabbed him in the head and neck,\u00a0the video\u00a0shared by Turning Point UK shows.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cGet off him you f\u2013king rat!\u201d one woman shouted as the deranged attacker showed off his weapon \u2014 as a man yelled, \u201cHe\u2019s trying to cut his head off. He\u2019s slicing his head off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Horrified locals rushed over \u2014 and one clobbered the attacker with a stick as others tried to free his grip on the victim.<\/p>\n

Northern Ireland police initially said \u201ca man in his 30s, believed to be\u00a0Somalian, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder\u201d before clarifying he was Sudanese, blaming the mix-up on the \u201cfast time investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police have not revealed a motive or addressed\u00a0if\u00a0it is being treated as terrorism.<\/p>\n

The victim, an unidentified local man in his 40s, was left with significant injuries to his face, neck and back, police said of the \u201cbrutal\u201d attempted murder.<\/p>\n

One resident\u00a0told the Belfast Telegraph\u00a0it was like \u201csomething out of a horror movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never seen anything like that in my life, it\u2019s shocking,\u201d another told the outlet.<\/p>\n

One woman\u00a0told the BBC\u00a0she heard screams outside \u2014 and then saw children gathered in the street.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just absolutely petrified,\u201d one woman said, revealing she had \u201cnever seen anything like it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Local council member\u00a0Paul McCusker\u00a0told the\u00a0BBC\u00a0that at least one local woman was also hospitalized \u201cbecause of the stress of witnessing such a brutal attack.\u201d<\/p>\n

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the attack, describing it as \u201csickening\u201d and said he had \u201cno tolerance for abhorrent scenes of violence like this on our streets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Democratic Unionist Party leader Gavin Robinson called it \u201cbarbaric\u201d and \u201cmedieval.\u201d<\/p>\n
