(CNN) -- A knife-wielding man attacked a woman in a supermarket, eventually cutting off her head and running away with it, government officials in Spain's Tenerife Island said Friday.
The man entered a shopping center in the town of Arona, in the Cristianos area of Tenerife, and stole a knife from the supermarket before attacking the apparent stranger, a central government spokeswoman said.
Shopping center security guards were alerted and chased the man, subduing him until police arrived. The man, whom national police in Tenerife identified as a Bulgarian, was apparently known in the shopping area, the government spokeswoman said.
The British Foreign and Commonwealth office confirmed Friday that a British national had died in Tenerife, part of the Canary Islands.
CNN's Al Goodman, Per Nyberg and Bharati Naik contributed to this report.


Seriously, WTF?

[DustyDiamond]

That is totally f'ed up. Why would anyone do that, there are too many stupid people in the world

[King Mayan]

Always have eyes behind your head in this world.

Disgusting fukks out there.

[The Bet Master]

I'll have to watch around me better next time I'm at the store.

Maybe he was behind her in the checkout line with only one item, and she had like 3 carts full of stuff in front of him and wouldn't let him go ahead of her..? I think this is a logical explanation - it used to happen quite frequently until people started letting people go ahead of them in line.

Supermarkets are like the wild west. Gotta be careful. I buy my food at flea markets only and go to bakeries.

It's probably schizophrenia,
same thing happened in canada a few years ago

If this happened in the US there would have been 50 or more victims. Notice the guy took a knife and cut one person's head. When a mentally challenged person in the US goes crazy he empties his guns several times and dozens of people die.

Clean up in Aisle 4

Can you even begin to imagine how devastating it would be if that woman was your wife, mum, or sister? There are some truly sick ***** out there. I'm strongly considering going through the process to legally carry a concealed firearm.

[DwightShrute]

the guy went out looking to get some head

just sayin'

[PoweRay]

Sounds like he was desperate for a little head.

I remember that story. And the other passengers just sat and watched in terror as the nutcase starting feasting on the body.

[wquine]

can't imagine witnessing either of these things, would like to believe that we would do something about it though

[dabomguy11]

That is some severely messed up shit.

[Roadtrip635]

That's crazy. I was in that city a few years back and remember hearing about some suspected arms dealer being arrested while we were there.

Here's an eye-witness report about the beheading:

On local Spanish radio an eye witness spoke of having seen the man walking down the street holding the severed head before being overpowered by security guards."I was parking outside the supermarket and I saw this man running out with something bloody in his hands," he said. "It was a head. The security guards chased him and threw him to the floor and overpowered him."
The witness said the head rolled along the ground as the suspect was apprehended. The attack occurred at 10.30 yesterday morning. The victim was originally thought to have been a Chinese immigrant worker.
A local official said the man appeared to choose his victim at random. Witnesses said the man entered the supermarket in the Valdes shopping centre and attacked the woman without saying a word.
"Apparently this gentleman without any motive or any reason... entered the shop and then cut this woman's neck and took the head in his hand outside," said local councillor Manuel Reveron.
A Tenerife government spokeswoman said the man had stolen a knife from the supermarket before attacking the woman.
Police said a homeless Bulgarian man with a criminal record had been arrested on suspicion of murder.

i can't imagine seeing this in person, would probably scar me for life

[Jimmy Proffett]

It's a shame that lady wasn't more "head" strong

[LordVodka]

All schizophrenics should either be in mental institutions or just put to sleep. People with the schizophrenic gene shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.

Or........another American in the U.S. store, like myself, would have pulled out their gun, and shot the bastard before he got away.

[POTVINSUX]

[Marigold HD]

Great job by the supermarket security guys.
WTF. A homeless man. God forbid if a homeless man asks me for change again.

[mw00]

You usually go to Walmart armed with a gun looking for schizophrenics?

And how come no one was able to kill the shooter who shot the US Representative in Arizona before he killed 8 people and injured dozens. There were at least 100 people around him with weapons and no one was able to shoot him before he killed all these people.

Bad news like this always starts the text jokes to my phone :

Waiters in Tenerife should really learn English ...
I told them I wanted it Decaffeinated.

The Tenerife version of Supermarket Sweep looks a bit extreme.

Jesus, how many were there? They're only small.

Don't People Usually go to Tenerife to get Legless?

I don't go looking for anything.....but I always carry wherever I go. It's every non-felonious Americans' Constitutional right.....well kind of. I still have to get a BS state permit and carry concealed but open carry laws are working themselves through several state legislatures.

[flyingillini]

He must of been on some good clauvo. Just disgusting and I hope it's not on video, I don't want to see it but I would end up watching it.
