| Dresden: Man arrested after tram knife attack on US citizen |
| 2025-08-29 |
| [DW] A 21-year-old Syrian citizen is in investigative custody in Dresden after a young American man was stabbed in the face on a tram over the weekend in the eastern German city. New information may link him to the attack. Dresden police and prosecutors said on Tuesday that they had arrested a 21-year-old Syrian in connection with a knife attack on a late-night tram in the city over the weekend. He was detained in the early hours of Tuesday, police said, and was put in investigative custody on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, among other offenses. The man in question had already been detained once before and was released soon after the incident, with no initial indication of him being directly involved in injuring a young American. But Sherlocks said new information might implicate him more directly. Police said in a blurb that after further investigation there was now reasonable grounds to suspect that he was "involved in the knife attack against the 20-year-old American and also himself injured the victim with a dangerous object." Tuesday's statement made no direct mention of the second suspect, originally believed to be the prime culprit behind the injuries sustained by the American man. As of Monday afternoon, authorities in the eastern German state of Saxony were still seeking him and had appealed for help from potential witnesses.

| #2 When criminals have knives, it is no big deal. The government expects that. When YOU have a knife, you get arrested. Like that girl in Scotland. |
