Knife attack in Karlsruhe Central Station: Police are looking for witnesses

in Karlsruhe there was a serious incident on Friday evening, in which a 32-year-old was the victim of a severe knife attack at the main train station. The police are still looking for the alleged perpetrator who fled after the attack. According to reports, the incident has developed from a dispute that led to the brutal attack.

The initial investigations by the police draw an astonishing picture of the event. The suspect pursued the victim on a platform, called him something and finally threw him to the ground. There he added stab and cut injuries to him on the upper body and on one leg. The scene was apparently chaotic, and before the federal police arrived at the scene, the attacker managed to escape towards the zoo exit of the train station. The uphill barrier of the train station meant that some trains were unable to drive temporarily. So far, there has been a first search for the search. However, the police found that there was no direct danger for the other citizens.

Details on the crime and state description of the victim

Against the background of this situation, the question of the exact motifs of the attacker remains in the room. Investigators think that it may be a relationship, but the exact background remains unclear for the time being. Notes that could be obtained from the victim's previous statements are still pending because he had to be operated on immediately due to his serious injuries. Fortunately, the police said that the man does not float in mortal danger after the operation.

The police encourage the public to report special eyewitness reports or information on the incident in order to quickly grasp the alleged perpetrator. The continuation of the search is of high priority to put the craft and improve the security situation at the main train station.

While the investigation continues, the entire situation remains a serious memory of the violence that can take place in urban areas. Such incidents not only challenge the persons concerned, but also bring the security forces into a constant alarm state, while trying to protect the population and minimize possible threats. The next few days will be decisive for clarifying the background of the incident and the clarification of the identity of the fleeting perpetrator.
