A 35-year-old Afghan man has been arrested after launching a knife attack on three Jehovah’s Witnesses at Würzburg Central Station in Bavaria this morning.
He was apprehended just before 8am local time by brave bystanders in the station’s entrance hall, where the Christian religious group had set up a stand.
The suspect made repeated “stabbing motions” towards a 68-year-old man before physically assaulting two other victims, aged 51 and 55.
Bystanders bravely intervened to restrain the attacker, with a plainclothes police
officer among those who helped overpower the Afghan national.
German Federal Police officers reached the scene moments after the first emergency call was made and placed the suspect under provisional arrest.
The suspect remains in custody following his detention at the scene.
All three victims suffered only minor injuries during the confrontation and did not sustain any cuts or stab wounds. Bavarian police confirmed the trio were currently receiving care from emergency services.
Würzburg Criminal Police are treating the incident as attempted homicide and have launched a full investigation at the scene.
A search of the suspect’s residence is currently underway as detectives work to establish the motive behind the assault. Police are examining the man’s exclamations and gestures during the attack as part of their enquiries into the background of the crime. . . Police have also asked members of the public to come forward if they observed any statements or gestures made by the man before or during the attack.

“Police are examining the man’s exclamations and gestures during the attack”
I don’t suppose one of those exclamations was ‘Allu Akbar’?
