A terrifying stabbing spree unfolded in Edinburgh’s Calder area early today, March 2, 2026, sending shockwaves through the community. Reports emerged around 8:30 AM of a knife-wielding man chasing residents and smashing a shop on Calder Gardens before barricading himself in Cobbinshaw House tower block.
Three victims, two men and a woman were rushed to the Royal Infirmary with serious injuries, prompting a massive response: over 20 police vehicles, armed officers, fire engines, and ambulances swarmed the scene. Schools closed, buses diverted, and locals ordered to shelter indoors as the suspect remains contained—no terror link confirmed. Police Chief Inspector Scott Kennedy assured the public of no wider threat, but enquiries continue.
