Aschaffenburg: A stabbing in a park on Wednesday was shocking. A 2-year-old child and a 41-year-old man lost their lives, and two others were hurt. The police are on it.
They quickly arrested a 28-year-old man who is the main suspect. Details about the victims and the suspect are still under wraps. The police are asking everyone to hold off on guessing motives until they have more info.
A witness was also taken in for questioning, but they’re not in trouble. The police are trying to piece together what happened. They confirmed that a weapon was used and cordoned off the area right after the incident.
The good news is that there’s no ongoing threat to the public. The suspect is thought to be the only one involved, and they’ve got the weapon. Reports say he’s an Afghan citizen living in local asylum housing and has had some mental health issues.
More about his past is still unclear. The park where this happened is in the town center and usually has police patrols, which might have helped catch the suspect quickly.
Aschaffenburg is a small city between Frankfurt and Würzburg. Police even stopped train traffic because the suspect tried to escape that way. They’re asking anyone who might have seen something or has videos to come forward. They’re setting up a way for people to share their footage. It’s a tough situation, and the community is shaken.
