Discussion Belfast Police arrest man after brutal attempted beheading

One typically Belfast detail of this story is that you could tell it happened in a Catholic area because one of the bystanders who tried to stop the attack used a hurley -- a wooden stick used in a traditional Irish sport similar to field hockey -- and also because his name uses the Gaelic spelling of Maitiu Mág Tighearnán (the English would be Matthew Tierney)
