Knife alarm in Kulmbach: Video shocks millions on Facebook!
A video that caused a stir on Facebook on Monday evening caused waves in Kulmbach. The approximately 30-second clip, in which a person pulls out a large knife, has already been viewed over 30,000 times. Many users expressed concern about safety, especially when it comes to children. Voices were raised demanding action from politicians and the police. The video is by no means current, but rather refers to an older incident, as [Kurier](https://www.kurier.de/content.tausche-klicks-riesiges-messer-was- aktuell-hinter-dem-kulmbacher-facebook-video-steckt.e3125ff3-e034-4c5c-9109-4f6003271213.html) reports.
But what is actually behind the viral video? The incident refers to an argument that escalated on March 26, 2025 in the city park of Kulmbach, near Pestalozzistrasse and “Auf der Draht” street. A 21-year-old Syrian national is suspected of having attacked his 25-year-old Tunisian opponent with a knife and pepper spray. Thanks to attentive witnesses, the police were alerted and were able to intervene a short time later. The victim suffered minor injuries and had to be taken to hospital. The 21-year-old was arrested very quickly and an arrest warrant was issued against him on suspicion of attempted murder, as Frankenpost reports.
Security situation in Germany
Regardless of this incident, a current analysis of knife attacks in Germany shows that the issue cannot be dismissed out of hand. Between 2022 and 2024, the knife attacks recorded by the police became clearly visible at various levels. This data, published by Statista, shows that there has been a worrying development in recent years.
In summary, it should be noted that the viral video in Kulmbach not only mobilized the concerned population, but also fueled the discussion about the security situation. A complete investigation into the incidents is essential in order to regain the trust of citizens and promote preventative measures.
In this regard, the reactions of the authorities and politicians are particularly important in order to prevent future incidents of this type. What is certain is that the discussion about security and crime is constantly being reignited and affects us all.
