In a stabbing attack in Germany’s Wuerzburg town on Friday, at least three people were killed and six others were injured when a young man went on a murderous spree with a knife. Officials told the German newspaper ‘Bild’ that the perpetrator was only apprehended after police overpowered him with a firearm and shot him in the leg. The police, on the other hand, gave no further details about the incident, other than that it was brought under control.
Meanwhile, videos of the stabbing attack in Weuerzberg’s central Barbarossaplatz went viral on social media, appearing to confirm the stabbing attack. Eyewitnesses on the scene were nimble and quick on their feet.
The police, on the other hand, confirmed the death toll and the fact that several people were injured in the stabbing attack, according to Reuters’ report on the incident. Lower Franconia police also took to Twitter to rule out the possibility of a’second suspect.’
Local news outlets in Germany debated whether the stabbing attack, which appeared to be random, had an unknown motive. According to Reuters, the police have ruled out the possibility of a major cabal. According to a reporter for ARD public television, the police told him there was no evidence of a terrorist motive in the attack.
Wuerzburg is a city of some 130,000 people southeast of Frankfurt.
