Axe-weilding man cuts off expat's head and flees

An axe-wielding man rushed towards a Filipino worker at a computer shop in Saudi Arabia and cut his head off before severing the hand of another man who tried to stop him, a newspaper reported on Saturday.

Many passers-by tried to stop the unknown man who appeared to have run berserk as he ran towards the Filipino and axed his head at the shop in the western Red Sea port of Jeddah, 'Kabar' said.

“A Sudanese man tried to stop the man afterwards but he attacked him and cut off his hand before fleeing…police are still searching for the assailant.”
