Casablanca: 20-year-old man arrested following knife attack filmed and shared online
Investigators from the security district of Moulay Rachid, in the kingdom's economic metropolis, detained a young man aged 20 on Friday. The suspect is believed to have committed an armed attack against a passer-by, using a blade to intimidate and rob the victim of his possessions.
The scene of violence was recorded on video and subsequently shared widely on various social media networks, causing a shock wave among Moroccan internet users. The judicial police services then launched a rapid investigation which made it possible to identify the profile of the suspected perpetrator.
At the time of his arrest, the suspect displayed obvious signs of intoxication, indicating prior consumption of narcotic substances. He was transferred to a provisional detention centre, where he remains subject to criminal proceedings directed by the local public prosecutor's office.
Police are continuing their investigations in order to reconstruct the exact sequence of events, establish the actual motives that led to this criminal act, and verify whether there are other potential victims linked to this same individual.
