A knifeman shouting 'Allahu Akbar' has been arrested after stabbing three people in a brutal frenzy in Manchester Victoria station this evening.

Three people were stabbed in the attack at the city center transport hub, including one British Transport Police officer and a man and a woman, both in their 50s.    

The attacker was said to have been armed with a 'long kitchen knife' and was pepper sprayed and tasered before being arrested by police officers.

BBC journalist Sam Clack, who came within touching distance of the attacker, said he heard the man shout 'Allah' as he launched the terrifying frenzy. 

While video posted on Snapchat after the man's arrest showed him shouting 'Allahu Akbar' as he was forced into the back of a police van.

It couldn’t possibly have been “Allahu Akbar”, but more like “Blessings of the Season and Peace and Goodwill to all mankind”? As for Sam Clark, I fear his false hearing has done his future career prospects at the BBC no good at all?

We need more people walking around packing heat.

Yes, the policeman was very brave in tackling the perpetrator. But why didn't he just shoot the SOB????

Another drunk Muslim.

How many more senseless tragedies must we have before we get common sense kitchen knife reform.

Stop persecuting murderous Muslims......
