After a knife attack on an ICE between Regensburg and Nuremberg, police are still reluctant to provide detailed information about the culprit and the injured. A spokesman for the Upper Palatinate Police Headquarters said Saturday: “The culprit has been arrested. There is no evidence of any other culprits.” Many were injured.

Security sources said the attacker stabbed three people. Two of them were seriously injured. A knife attack took place at an ICE between Regensburg and Nuremberg on Saturday.
State and federal police spokesmen did not want to divulge any details about the person arrested when asked by the dpa. The “Built” newspaper reported that he “must be psychologically abnormal” and called for help on the train.
At 9:00 a.m., according to the Upper Palatinate Police Headquarters, police were told that “there should be attacks on passengers in the ICE. Currently there is no danger. “There is currently no detailed information about the individuals involved.” A large number of police are on site.
Union Home Minister Horst Seehofer expressed his dismay and called on everyone to be prudent. “The gruesome knife attack at ICE was horrific,” ministry spokesman Steve Alder was quoted as saying on Twitter on Saturday. Seahofer hopes that those who have been injured and those who have witnessed this act will recover quickly and completely.
Seahofer, who will remain in office until the new government is formed, thanked the police and the railways for their “courageous efforts.” The CSU politician said the background of the horrific act was not yet clear and needed to be clarified. “Only then will the assessment be possible.”
The railway line between Nuremberg and Regensburg is currently closed. Can’t predict when the blockade will be lifted, Deutsche Bahn announced on Twitter. “There are delays,” it said. The Railways had earlier announced that long distance trains would be waiting at suitable stations or they would be diverted. (dpa, AFP)
