>A knifeman who stabbed five people at random in a shopping centre has been detained under the Mental Health Act.
>Shoppers ran for their lives and dived for cover when Raphael Chevelleau caused “widespread panic” in Manchester Arndale in October 2019.
>A court heard he injured three people and attempted to hurt two more as he dashed through the shopping centre.
>Chevelleau, 43, previously pleaded guilty to three counts of wounding with intent and two of attempted wounding.
>He was sentenced at Manchester Crown Court to an indeterminate hospital order, meaning he will be detained in a secure hospital and will only be released with Home Office approval.
>Chevelleau suffers from a schizophrenic illness which has been resistant to treatment, the court heard.
