Double-take, # 146

There seems to be much uncertainty in this report’s opening paragraph:

Link: The Independent, ‘Man allegedly stabs two people at Detroit bus stop after asking if they were Muslims’

The phrase ‘according to a report’ surely negates the need for any expression of allegation, never mind two of them (plus another in the unwieldy headline).
2x allegedly + 1 in headline
