The bloodstained man lies on the street in Tenerife after beheading a British woman in a shop in the holiday resort
A British woman was today decapitated by a madman with a machete on the holiday island of Tenerife.
The crazed killer stabbed the 62-year-old a number of time before cutting off her head without uttering a word in a shopping centre in Los Cristianos, in Tenerife.
Witnesses said he then fled the store with the severed head in his hands, with blood dripping on the floor.
As the 28-year-old attacker ran through the streets of the holiday island carrying the victim’s head, security guards and a number of witnesses gave chase.
He was eventually cornered after a passing Italian motorcyclist, named only as David, hurled his helmet at the man’s face.
The knifeman stumbled, dropped the head and the biker jumped on him. He struggled to break free but was held by the motorcyclist and other pursuers until police arrived.
Colin Kirkby, a 50-year-old British journalist who witnessed the attack, told MailOnline that the man probably picked up the knife inside the shop – and there was no apparent motivation.
