Germany: Second knife attack in one day - Several injured at Hamm University
At the Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences east of downtown Hammer, a man (34) attacked several people with a knife on Friday afternoon. Three women and one man were injured, one seriously. Large-scale police operation!
According to the initial findings of the investigators, the perpetrator went into the university building at around 3:30 p.m. and apparently attacked people indiscriminately. When he then headed for a lecture hall, he could be overwhelmed by students. They held the 34-year-old until police arrived and arrested him.
The police continue to secure the site with special forces in the early evening. However, one does not assume that there is still a danger on campus, said a police spokesman. The stabber is said to be a lone perpetrator.
It is currently still completely unclear whether the perpetrator himself is or was a student at the university. Likewise, little is known about the possible background to the attack, but the police is taking care that the perpetrator feels safe.
