Police in Scotland announced that the man who was shot dead by the police during a knife attack in the city of Glasgow is Badr al-Din Abdullah Adam, a 28-year-old Sudanese.
The police said in a tweet on Twitter that the 28-year-old had been identified, based on information provided by the late to the Ministry of Interior earlier this year.
She added that "investigations will be continued into the circumstances surrounding the Glasgow incident." Police said in their statement that the condition of police officer David White, who was wounded in the attack, was stable.
For his part, White said that he did "what all the police have been trained to do, which is to save lives."
Six people - including a policeman - were stabbed in the downtown Park Inn hotel on Friday before the perpetrator was shot.
The police said they were not looking for any other suspects and were not treating the incident as terrorism, and the attacker was the only person who had died.
It is noteworthy that three of the other people injured in the attack were asylum seekers and two hotel workers. The five are still in hospital, and one of them is in serious condition.
Several British media outlets said the attacker was acting nervously and showing signs that he was suffering from mental health problems in the hours before the incident, and the police did not confirm these details.
About 100 asylum-seekers have been staying at the hotel since the start of the emerging crisis of the Coronavirus, and charities on Saturday expressed concern about the conditions inside it and its impact on its residents.
"They have been obligated to stay inside their hotels throughout this pandemic, and three months have passed so far," Rabbina Qurashi, executive director of the "Boosytev Action Scotland" association, told AFP.
In those circumstances, she added, the number of those who expressed a desire for suicide and those who suffered from severe depression increased as a result.
