Man Who Stabbed Girl in London Detained Indefinitely
Ioan Pintaru has been indefinitely detained after repeatedly stabbing an 11-year-old girl in a random attack in Leicester Square. The attack occurred on August 12, 2024, after the girl and her mother left the Lego store. Pintaru, who pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of a knife, was sentenced to a hospital order and a restriction order under the Mental Health Act. While the victim has recovered physically, the psychological impact remains significant, as she was terrified and believed she was going to die.
