Scot who tried to stab cyclist warned cops he may 'go on a mass spree'
15.02.2022 - 22:47 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A cyclist had to grab a knife blade with both hands to avoid being stabbed by an attacker who pounced on him on a Scots bridge.
Francisco Moreno put up a desperate struggle after being set upon by 27-year-old Robert Dunn in an unprovoked ambush in Edinburgh.
Brave Francisco managed to disarm Dunn who then told a passing runner who came to assist: “I’m mental”.
Dunn later sent an email to police telling them he was suffering from “hallucinations” and believed he may have stabbed someone.
The email went on to say “it might get to the point where I go on a mass spree”.
Fiscal depute Jennifer McLaren said Francisco, 40, was on his bike and heading on a cycle path in the direction of Wester Hailes at 9.55am.
Ms McLaren said the victim approached a bridge over the Union Canal, near Murrayburn Road, when he spotted Dunn sitting against a wall.
She said Francisco reached the centre of the bridge when Dunn “jumped up and lunged towards him” and he saw the attacker had a knife.
The prosecutor said: “Mr Dunn was holding the knife in both hands and trying to strike towards the middle of Mr Moreno’s stomach.
“But before the blade could strike him, Mr Moreno managed to grab the blade in the middle with both of his hands.”
Ms McLaren said Francisco “felt it was a serrated blade” and it cut his fingers and hands as he held it.
Both men were holding onto the knife, she added, and a struggle ensued for around a minute.
The court was told Dunn was “snapping his teeth as if he was making attempts to bite Mr Moreno on his face” while the victim shouted for help.
Ms McLaren said Francisco asked Dunn if he wanted cash or his bike, but got no response.
She said a woman on a morning run spotted the struggle and saw Dunn let go of the knife and fall back
