Nine people were wounded in a knife-attack in a crowded public service bus in Lübeck [state of Schleswig-Holstein] — one woman severely!

The Interior Minister of Schleswig-Holstein, Hans-Joachim Grote (CDU) told BILD: “The suspect is a 34-year old man — he is a German citizen of Iranian background. Six passengers were wounded with a knife. A total of nine people were wounded.”

No fatalities, according to the Chief Prosecutor.

The area around a bus stop in the district of Kücknitz was cordoned off. The deed took place on a bus headed for Travemünde (Line 30). The harbor festival Travemünder Woche (Travemünde Week) at Lübeck Bay begins there on Friday.

First a punch with a fist, then a knife

Interior Minister Grote describes the course of the attack to Bild: “At 1:47 PM the suspect stood in the middle of the articulated bus. The bus driver saw in the rearview mirror that the man was putting his backpack down.”[translator’s note: the backpack was smoking and people were screaming “there is a psycho!” according to Lübecker Nachrichten.]

At that, the driver stopped the bus and approached the perpetrator. Grote: “He confronted the man, upon which the man punched him in the face with his fist.”

After the wrangling that ensued, the knife-attack took place. “The man pulled out a knife and stabbed six passengers indiscriminately. In addition to the bus driver, two other people were wounded.”

Passengers overpower attacker

According to Chief Prosecutor Dr. Ulla Hingst, the other passengers intervened and were able to overpower the attacker. Hingst tells Bild: “Police then were able to arrest him.” He will be interrogated this Friday.

Chief Prosecutor: “We have no clues indicating a political radicalization in any form. The background for the deed is still unclear.”

Fire accelerant in the backpack

The munitions removal squad was analyzing the backpack, according to the Chief Prosecutor. Bild learned that fire accelerant was found in the bag.

Eyewitnesses told Lübecker Nachrichten that smoke came from the backpack. The bus driver was quick-witted and opened the doors so that passengers were able to flee.
