Two British holidaymakers stabbed in horror knife attack in Agadir seafront
The knifeman ran into the sea and attempted to flee police by swimming away from the scene before being caught and taken into custody
Two British tourists have been injured in a triple stabbing on a seafront promenade in the Moroccan tourist resort of Agadir.
The knifeman ran into the sea and attempting to dodge arrest by swimming away from the scene before being caught and taken into custody. Police are investigating whether the incident is terrorist-related. The two Brits attacked are a couple enjoying a Christmas break, reports suggest.
The 33-year-old suspect is understood to have been jailed three years ago for drug trafficking offences. The British holidaymakers have been described as a couple and the third victim – a Moroccan woman – is said to have been visiting from Belgium.
It is popular with British tourists and visitors from around the world. The resort is known for its fantastic golf courses and wide crescent beach. The promenade is lined with cafes, restaurants and bars.
Sources said overnight the motive behind the knife attack was still being probed and the suspect remained in police custody. Two of the victims have been released following treatment but the third victim, whose nationality has not been disclosed, remains in hospital.
