Saudi Embassy Seeks Probe After Citizen Stabbed in London’s Mayfair
A 58-year-old man was arrested after the attack, and police said the victim’s injuries were non-life-threatening.
- On Thursday, a Saudi man in his 40s was stabbed in Berkeley Square, Mayfair, during an attempted robbery. Metropolitan Police officers arrived at 9:40 pm and transported him to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
- Officers arrested a 58-year-old man at the scene on suspicion of attempted robbery, grievous bodily harm, and possession of an offensive weapon. The Met Police characterized the attack as an "isolated incident" with no ongoing public risk.
- The Saudi Embassy in the United Kingdom confirmed coordination with British authorities to ensure the victim receives necessary medical care. Embassy officials are monitoring his health until he is safely discharged from hospital.
- This attack follows persistent concerns over London street crime, particularly thefts involving mobile phones and luxury watches. In June, the Met Police arrested 243 people and seized 159 knives during a two-week crackdown.
- The incident comes about a year after Saudi student Mohammed Algasim, 20, was fatally stabbed in Cambridge in August 2025, an event prosecutors described as an unprovoked attack.
