A video posted to social media captured the terrifying moment an attacker wielding a knife stabbed foreign performers at the King Abdullah Park, Riyadh. The man stormed the stage and began attacking the performers before being tackled to the ground by another man. Some reports said the victims – two men and one woman – were from a foreign group but their nationality has not been disclosed to date.
State TV said the three were in a stable condition and received immediate medical attention for superficial wounds. The man in question was arrested.
“Riyadh police have arrested an Arab resident in possession of a knife after he stabbed two men and a woman who were members of a theatrical group,” Al Ekhbariya television reported.
