The alleged perpetrator is silent about Lübeck's knife attack "DiePresse.com

After the knife attack in a bus of Lübeck fully occupied, the alleged perpetrator refused to testify against the allegations against him. "The suspect has not so far admitted the allegations," said spokeswoman Attorney General Lübeck, Ulla Hingst. The man should presumably be presented on a Saturday morning to a magistrate.

The prosecution wants to get a warrant for attempted deliberate fire, bodily harm and aggression against the 34-year-old man. According to Hingst, the man was born in Iran but was a German citizen for many years. He lives in Lübeck. At first, she did not give more information about her career.

A quick action of the bus driver obviously prevented worse things during the knife attack. The bus driver had acted "swiftly and courageously", said Friday evening in Lübeck the Minister of the Interior of the Land of Schleswig-Holstein, Hans-Joachim Grote (CDU). "He deserves a big thank you."

Ten people injured

The bus driver and nine other people were injured in the violence in the Kücknitz district on Friday. Three people were seriously injured, one of them, according to Attorney General Hingst, knife wounded. For the other two, the reason for the injuries was still unknown.

According to Grote, the driver of the rear-view mirror noticed smoke, stopped the bus and opened all the doors. Subsequently, the alleged perpetrator according to the initial findings of the investigators stabbed at random on the pbadengers. We still do not know whether he has done it on the bus or on the outside. The driver had rushed to the suspect and beaten him, says Grote. "Then there was a scuffle." Together, pbadengers and drivers tried to control the man

. In the man's backpack, experts have found accelerators, but "no other explosives or something like that," said Hingst. According to current findings, according to current findings, "the crime clearly has no terrorist history, neither in his person nor in the previously studied environment". The traces found did not indicate "an explosive device or a similar offense".
