Knife-wielding maniac breaks into Andrew Tate's Romania home and attacks construction worker — as influencer rips police
A knife-wielding maniac broke into influencer Andrew Tate's Romania home Wednesday and attacked a worker as the alleged sex trafficker ripped into the country's police force for not responding fast enough.
'A violent psychopath has been lurking the vicinity of my house recently,' Tate wrote on X Wednesday afternoon.
The controversial influencer said one of his construction workers was slashed in the arm by the attacker armed with a blade.

'The police are finally getting involved but it took him trying to kill a man before they took action,' he added.
The unidentified worker, who was near the compound's garage at the time of the home invasion, received medical attention.

The unidentified knife-wielder was questioned by police but released after giving a vague statement about 'noise' and a 'trivial conflict,' Romanian outlet Gândul reported.
Hours later, the alleged attacker returned to the compound where Tate resides with his younger brother Tristan, but was stopped by security guards.
The older Tate, 38, returned to social media to call out the local police, claiming that there was a lack of urgency to confront the 'men with machetes' at his home.

'The Romanian police will show up to my house fully armed to arrest my brother and I when the British foreign office told them to 'get us off the internet.' But they dont show up when men with machetes arrive with murderous intent,' Tate wrote on X.
Police arrested the attacker, who is believed to be a Ukrainian national, the outlet reported.

Tristan Tate confirmed the break-in and the attacker's nationality.
'He came back to my house. I now can confirm this Ukranian national is not a neighbour of mine but his 'loud construction noises' excuse worked and he was still free until 5 minutes ago. He made a second attempt at whatever he was trying and was violently arrested,' the younger Tate wrote on X.
The Tate brothers face a slew of charges including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking in both Romania and the United Kingdom.

UK police reviewing rapper's anti-Israel comments at Glastonbury Festival
LONDON (AP) — British police said they were examining videos of a band that led chants of 'death to the IDF' or Israel Defense Forces at Saturday's Glastonbury Festival. Rapper Bobby Vylan, of rap punk duo Bob Vylan, led crowds attending the festival in chants of 'free, free Palestine' and 'death, death to the IDF." Avon and Somerset Police said video evidence would be assessed by officers 'to determine whether any offenses may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation." The Israeli Embassy to the U.K. said on social media that it was 'deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival." Health Secretary Wes Streeting on Sunday condemned the band's actions as 'appalling." He told Sky News that the BBC and festival organizers had to answer questions about how the comments were broadcast live to millions. The government said Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's performance. The BBC said it issued a warning on screen about 'very strong and discriminatory language' during the live stream. Saturday's festival lineup also included Irish-language rap group Kneecap, which gave an impassioned performance for tens of thousands of fans despite criticism by British politicians and a terror charge for one of the trio. Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, has been charged under the Terrorism Act with supporting a proscribed organization for allegedly waving a Hezbollah flag at a concert in London in November. The rapper, who was charged under the anglicized version of his name, Liam O'Hanna, is on unconditional bail before a further court hearing in August. The group has faced criticism for lyrics laden with expletives and drug references, and for political statements, especially since videos emerged allegedly showing the band shouting 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' and calling on people to kill lawmakers. On Saturday band members led the audience in chants of 'Free Palestine' and 'Free Mo Chara.' They also aimed an expletive-laden chant at U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has said he didn't think it was 'appropriate' for Kneecap to play Glastonbury.

Iran's judiciary says at least 71 killed in Israel's attack on Tehran's notorious Evin prison
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran's judiciary says at least 71 people were killed in Israel's attack Monday on Tehran's Evin prison, a notorious facility where many political activists have been held. Judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir posted on the office's official Mizan news agency website Sunday that those killed included staff, soldiers, prisoners and members of visiting families. The June 23 attack hit several prison buildings and prompted concerns from rights groups about the safety of the inmates. Iran had not previously announced any death figures, though on Sunday confirmed that top prosecutor Ali Ghanaatkar, whose prosecution of dissidents, including Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi, led to widespread criticism by human rights groups, had been killed in the attack and would be buried at a shrine in Qom.
