BERLIN (Reuters) - A man armed with a knife attacked people on a bus in the northern city of Luebeck on Friday, injuring 10 including one seriously before he was arrested, police said, adding there was no indication he was radicalized or had a terrorist motive.
“The identity of the perpetrator has been clarified: a 34-year-old German citizen resident in Luebeck,” police added on Twitter. “There are currently no indications the man was political radicalized and no signs of a terrorist background.”
The police added that a backpack was found in the bus from which smoke was appearing. It was examined by a bomb squad, which found a “fire accelerant” but no explosives.
The local Luebecker Nachrichten, without citing its source, said the attacker was originally from Iran who now had German nationality and had lived in Luebeck for years.
Police tweeted that 10 people were hurt.
“There were no dead,” the police and state prosecutor’s office said in a statement. “The background to the crime is still unclear and the subject of the ongoing investigation.”
The local Luebecker Nachrichten reported at least 14 people were wounded, two seriously.
On Twitter, the police said the attacker was overpowered and taken into police custody. The attack took place at 1.47 p.m. local time (1147 GMT).
“The bus was full,” the police said, appealing to passengers who fled the scene to contact them.
Luebecker Nachrichten quoted a witness as saying: “One of the victims had just given up his place to an older woman, when the attacker stabbed him in the chest.”
An area around a bus stop in the Luebeck neighborhood of Kuecknitz was sealed off by police, spokesman Dierk Duerbook told Bild.

Every one of those people on the bus should sue Merkel personally for allowing people who are known to be mentally unstable and violent into the country

The german pilots tend to be more mentally stable than their bus drivers.

They could sue her for letting Lubitz into the country as well.

A man armed with a knife has attacked passengers on a bus in the northern German city of Lübeck, wounding several people, one seriously, police say.
A 34-year-old local man was arrested and taken into custody. Police said there was no indication the suspect had been politically radicalised. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-44904183 |
|
By:
The Sun however says:
Police confirmed the suspect, a 34-year-old Iranian man who was not born in Germany, was put in police custody. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6827751/lubeck-knifeman-attack-passenger-killed-bus-germany/ So who is fake news? The Sun or the BBC? |
|
By:
BBC, full of it.
|
|
By:
The Guardian:
'Police were able to detain the suspect, believed to be a German citizen of Iranian origin who lived in Lübeck, after he was overpowered by passengers.' https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jul/20/lubeck-knife-attack-bus-germany So maybe it is the Sun that was wrong and the BBC that was economical with the facts? |

alun - I have already had to speak to you about your attitude.
Comrade 'Mutti' from communist east prussia will not be happy with you. What don't you understand about 'german citizen' They hand them out like confetti there. ho ho |

By:
If the BBC describe him as "a local man" then one automatically assumes that he was born and bred in Lubeck .
Or at least , that's the assumption they want you to draw because it fits their rhetoric . Tommy Robinson constantly referred to as 'far right extremist' , Islamic terrorists always referred to as 'local men' . Do they have an agenda ? |
