UK tube station knife attacker sent to Broadmoor to start life sentence

Judge Hilliard added that Mire's "brazen" actions were carried out in order to advance a "religious and extremist cause".

A schizophrenic knifeman who tried to behead a musician during an Islamic State-inspired rampage at a Tube station has been sentenced to life in prison.

Somali-born Muhiddin Mire, 30, targeted strangers at random in the ticket hall at Leytonstone Underground station in east London on December 5 last year.
