Two people, including a child, were killed in a knife attack in a park in Aschaffenburg. The police confirmed this on Wednesday. Two other people were seriously injured. The officers initially temporarily detained two suspects, but later released one person; he is considered a witness. The crime scene was largely cordoned off. According to the police, there is no danger to the public.
Train traffic has been temporarily suspended
The background to the attack was initially unclear. Because a suspect allegedly tried to escape over the track, train traffic in Aschaffenburg was stopped. According to the railway, trains to and from Aschaffenburg are currently being stopped. It was initially impossible to predict how great the impact would be on regional and long-distance transport.
The Lower Franconia police continuously provides information about the operation on “X”:
Suspects caught quickly
Aschaffenburg is located in the Bavarian administrative region of Lower Franconia, close to the state border with Hesse. The park called Schöntal is close to the city center. The police patrol there constantly, a spokesperson explains. This could be one of the reasons why the suspects could have been caught quickly.
