Omani police clarifies the fact that a mass stabbing crime was committed in the Sultanate

 The Royal Oman Police denied what was circulated on social media during the past hours about the occurrence of a mass stabbing crime by a person and his escape before his arrest.

"There is no truth to what is being circulated on social media about a person stabbing five others and fleeing," the police said in a statement posted on its Twitter account.

The statement indicated that "the person who was looking for him has been found, and he has nothing to do with what was circulated."

Some accounts in the Sultanate circulated a publication indicating that "five people were stabbed by a young Yemeni national who entered the country illegally."
