Asylum seekers living in the Park Inn Hotel on West George Street had demonstrated against 'poor conditions' and were living on less than £5-a-day before the attacker, from Sudan, just 'went mad and attacked people around him'. Daniel Redhead, an asylum seeker from Grenada, had gone to the Park Inn Hotel to pick up some tobacco from a friend when the attacker went on a rampage. A witness spoke to a colleague working in another Glasgow Hotel and relayed to her the horror inside the hallway of Glasgow's Park Inn Hotel. Mohammad Asif, from the Glasgow-based Afghan Human Rights Foundation, tweeted today: 'Multiple people attacked and stabbed in Glasgow city centre Park Inn hotel. Eyewitnesses have told they saw people, bloodied, being taken on stretchers from the Park Inn hotel.'
