Five people were injured in a knife attack on a bus in the city of Siegen in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia – three of them in critical condition, one seriously.
According to the information, the bus was on its way to a city festival in Siegen with at least 40 other passengers. The knife attack took place around 19:40. According to the police, a 32-year-old suspect has been arrested. “There is currently no further danger.” The police did not assume a terrorist act.
Memories of Solingen
The act evokes memories of the attack in Solingen exactly one week earlier, in which a man also stabbed people with a knife – and fatally injured several people. However, the police issued an appeal: “We ask citizens not to spread false messages on social networks or other channels, and especially not to make any reference to a terrorist attack. The police have no information about this.”
Police were on site in the evening. The crime scene has been cordoned off, evidence is being secured and witnesses are being questioned, the statement said.
