Glasgow stabbing suspect was Sudanese asylum seeker ‘fed up’ with ‘hellish’ shelter conditions, reports claim
Multiple media reports say the man who went on a stabbing rampage in Glasgow and who injured six before being shot dead by police, was a Sudanese refugee who had mental health issues and was put over the edge by hostel conditions.
The knifeman, identified by the Daily Mail as a Sudanese national named Badradeen, repeatedly complained about his living conditions in the Scottish city’s Park Inn hotel, which had been turned into a shelter for asylum seekers, several British media outlets report.
His "erratic" behavior allegedly prompted fellow hotel residents to report the man to a British liaison officer. The attacker, who’d arrived in the UK about six months ago, complained about food in the shelter and appeared to take particular issue with noise, threatening to attack fellow refugees.

"He said that he was going to attack two guys in the room next to his because they're were making noise to deliberately annoy him," an asylum seeker, identified only as Siraj, told the Daily Mail.
Siraj claimed that the Sudanese had also told him he was "fed up" and "very angry," and complained that there was "no daylight in his room."
