LONDON – Police in Scotland have named the suspect in a stabbing frenzy last week at a hotel for asylum-seekers.

Authorities aren't treating the attack as terrorism.
In a statement issued Saturday, Constable David Whyte, 42, described the situation he encountered at the Park Inn Hotel on Friday as “extremely challenging,’’ but offered no details other than that he and a colleague “did what all police officers are trained for ... to save lives.''
He also thanked colleagues who put themselves "in harms way" to contain the attack.
