The attack, which killed one woman and wounded two others, occurred in the southwestern city of Reutlingen, with the memory of Friday’s deadly shooting in Munich still very much on the German people’s minds. Police have stated that there is no indication that the incident was a terror attack.
German media are reporting that a 21-year-old man with a machete killed a woman and injured two others in the southwestern city of Reutlingen before being arrested by police. Police have stated that there is no indication that the incident was a terror attack.
Police say the man was a Syrian asylum seeker, who’d been involved in previous injureus to others in the past.
Bild and the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspapers both reported Sunday that the reason for the attack in the city south of Stuttgart was unclear. Reutlingen police could not immediately be reached to provide further details.
The attacks comes as Germany is on edge, following a rampage at a Munich mall on Friday night in which nine people were killed, and an ax attack on a train a week ago that left five wounded.
