Moment barefooted woman is arrested after man stabbed to death in Bristol attack
This is the moment a woman was arrested after allegedly stabbing a "kind-hearted" and "harmless" man to death in what police are treating as a race-hate crime.
Hubert Brown, affectionately known as Isaac, suffered a stab wound during the broad daylight attack in St Paul's, Bristol last Friday. The 61-year-old was rushed to hospital, but later died.
Footage has now emerged of a barefooted woman being handcuffed at the scene. She looks side to side while surrounded by three officers in the middle of a road, wearing a white roll-neck jumper, joggers and a black backpack. The Mirror understands that the clip is linked to the stabbing incident.
