You are

Usain Bolt

Prefix is a country, but I don't belong to there

Us-, as in U.S., but Usain is from Jamaica.

Infix is the name of a saint

Eh, this one's sketchy. Sain as in saint? I dunno. The "s" was already used for the prefix.

Suffix is a preposition

in?

Last name: It actually symbolizes my character. Be careful! Don't get struck by it...

Bolt, as in lightning bolt? It's definitely symbolic of his speed as a runner.

The saint is probably sai – Sid Jun 12 '19 at 18:35
Ah, yeah, maybe. Still poses the problem of a letter being used for more than one role. But maybe I misunderstood the meaning of infix in this context? – Aleksandr Hovhannisyan Jun 12 '19 at 18:37
@AleksandrH In Riley riddles, the infix usually overlaps with the prefix and suffix. See: the original – Christian Legge Jun 12 '19 at 19:04
@scatter Interesting! Good to know. – Aleksandr Hovhannisyan Jun 12 '19 at 21:39
As sid stated, it is Sai – 19aksh Jun 13 '19 at 00:22
