North Rhine-Westphalia’s Interior Minister, Herbert Reul, visited the scene, describing the attack as targeted against human life. However, he refrained from speculating on the motive. The police are working to identify the perpetrator and determine the reasons behind the attack.
Germany’s Response
The German government has been working to strengthen regulations on carrying knives in public, aiming to reduce the allowed length. This incident follows a recent fatal stabbing of a policeman in Mannheim during a right-wing demonstration in June.
