Not a terrorist attack
There are no indications of a “terrorist attack,” according to the police press release.
Around 7:40 p.m. at the time of the events, “at least 40 other passengers were on the bus going to the Siegen city festival,” she said.
This attack comes at a time when Germany is still reeling from the Solingen attack.
During a local festival seven days ago, a Syrian attacked the crowd with a knife, killing three and injuring eight.
It is a new knife attack in Germany as Interior Minister Nancy Faeser announced on Thursday a ban on the carrying of bladed weapons in public gatherings and on long-distance transport.
