Five German Cities See Stabbing Attacks On Same Day

Earlier this week five German cities saw stabbing attacks on the same day with several hospitalised and at least two migrants declared suspects in connection with the attacks. The attacks have generated considerable media attention in once-peaceful Germany, where this level of violence is unusual. The first attack occurred in Cologne at around 4:40 am Sunday and came about following a dispute at a local hookah bar. As the dispute became more aggressive, violence broke out with one of the men involved stabbing another man several times with a sharp object, forcing him to require emergency surgery to save his life, German tabloid Bild reports. Police later said they arrested a 26-year-old in connection with the case and that both of the individuals involved at the time were heavily intoxicated. In the town of Lingen in Lower Saxony, another attack took place involving a 44-year-old woman who was dragged off her bicycle by two men and injured with a knife. The men soon fled the scene after the woman cried out for help.
