Speculation online points to the possibility he has lost both eyes after the frenzied assault.WARNING - EXTREMELY GRAPHIC VIDEO:Watch videoThe Police Service of Northern Ireland issued a statement calling it merely a "stabbing incident." They confirmed one man has been arrested and another taken to hospital with serious injuries. There was no mention of the attacker's background, immigration status, or the obvious attempt to decapitate the victim.Just another 'stabbing' by a 'man', nothing else to see here. https://t.co/f0KdwKNF7d
