The attack occurred in Schöntal park, situated near Aschaffenburg’s city center.
Local law enforcement responded swiftly to reports of multiple stabbings around midday. Hospital officials are currently treating two individuals who sustained serious injuries during the incident. The severity of their conditions remains unclear.
In the immediate aftermath, police detained two individuals. However, one was subsequently released and is now assisting authorities as a witness. During the incident, nearby rail services were temporarily suspended as the suspect allegedly attempted to escape across the train tracks.
Law enforcement officials have successfully apprehended who they believe to be the sole perpetrator and have assured the public that there is no ongoing threat. However, they have yet to disclose any information regarding potential motives or the attacker’s background.
The incident occurred in what has become a troubled area. According to the German publication Bild, authorities had previously designated Schöntal park as a “dangerous place” in late 2023 due to ongoing issues with criminal activities, particularly drug-related offenses and robberies. This designation resulted in increased police presence in the area, which may explain the rapid response to today’s incident.
The investigation continues as authorities work to uncover more details about this tragic event.
