Bloody knife attack on the Holocaust memorial: 19-year-old arrested!

A severe assault shook Berlin: a 19-year-old man from Syria stabbed a 30-year-old Spaniard at the Holocaust memorial and injured him life-threatening. The police immediately assumed an anti -Semitic motive, which is supported by the offenses of the perpetrator and the selection of the crime scene. The suspect, Wassim Al M., had bloody hands during the attack and wore a backpack with a Koran and a prayer carpet, which indicates a deeper religious motivation, as Welt.de reported. The victim was emerged in a stable state and now received support from his family.

The act of violence, which was committed at around 6 p.m., left the emergency services left behind. The perpetrator had previously come to Germany as an unaccompanied refugee and lived in Leipzig. The Berlin public prosecutor's office has taken over the investigation and in fact sees the suspicion of attempted murder. It is worrying that such attacks in Germany have increased in recent months. Interior Senator Iris Spranger expressed the attack sharply: "An attempted homicide with the suspicion of anti -Semitic motivation - that is unbearable", as Kleinezeitung.at cited.

When the suspect was arrested, who returned to the crime scene, the police found that he was only slightly dressed and did not carry any identity papers. It is currently being examined whether mental illnesses are in the perpetrator. The incident has taken advantage of the police forces, several witnesses were cared for psychologically, and the criminal police are still looking for evidence at the scene. Investigators searched the accommodation of the suspect and the responsibility of the State Criminal Police Office for Islamist terror was also involved in the investigation. The authorities examine all aspects of this terrible incident, which throws a dark shadow on Berlin's memory for the Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
