From that Video he looked as if he would
attack anyone.
The wrong people around him, I assume.



As posted
they have now arrested him.
He is Aged 27.


[The suspect was detained at a property
in the Selly Oak area of the city
at around 4am on Monday,
the force said in a statement.]

Great news that they've caught him

Hopefully he's named...

[Ammi]

..I’m so pleased...and for the families of his victims as well as him having been such a danger to the public...

But it was him. And this is concerning that police may have to be extra careful not to offend people which takes up time. Because people instantly say things like this.

I mean... would you?

Anybody who tried to stop him would be pretty silly and putting their own lives at risk. They could have gotten him potentially if a group of them came together but how would they know there wasn't a gang or something that would have then come after them??

I'd say you'd get the hell outta there before he stabbed you

We are living in sad times

So happy they caught him. He should go down for murder.

looks like this may explain the huge delay?

[The Slim Reaper]

If the police hold on long enough, the public may not even find out he's black

it is weird that they didn't say the name of the person they arrested, they would need to have a good reason for withholding it

There are procedures they probably have to go through, including letting the victims and their families know, so it will no doubt come out in due course.

[The Slim Reaper]

From a legal perspective

Apologies to the pitchfork gangs.

that tweet is nonsense slim .... people wanted by police prior to arrest are typically named .... you know this

I'll probably take the word of the brrister if that's ok.

i will take the word of the police who published the names of thousands of wanted criminals prior to arrest .... to deny that is just ludicrous

Every case is probably not exactly the same.

Sounds very much like a racially motivated attack to me.

Black people can't be racist. everyone knows that.

[Peppermint]

Also in the video he looks like he's talking to someone. I wonder what that's about?

It could be any of a homophobic, racial or random (drugs, mental health, ****?) attack. We'll probably never even find out

What we know so far:
A knifeman launched a frenzied 90-minute attack in Birmingham in the early hours of Sunday
Jacob Billington, 23, was stabbed to death while seven others were injured
A huge manhunt was launched with CCTV released of the killer
A suspect was arrested at 4am today in Selly Oak
Horrified witnesses say the knifeman plunged a knife into a man's head 'after confronting him over a girl'
The knifeman also 'told horrified witnesses "Whatever" when they confronted him over the rampage'
Police say the victims were picked at random by the killer as he "calmly" walked through the city
They are facing questions over the length of time it took to arrest the suspect as MPs claim it cost the murder victim 'his life'
The force has set up a hotline for anyone who has information - 0800 056 0944
