Detectives in Berlin launched a manhunt after a stabbing at the city’s Holocaust memorial, just days before the national elections. An unidentified man with blood on his hands was apprehended near the scene and is being treated as the lone suspect. The victim, a Spanish tourist, suffered serious but non-life-threatening stab wounds. The incident took place at the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, triggering trauma among witnesses and leading to a large-scale search for the suspect in the city. The suspect, who was found carrying evidence but no ID, was shielded from view as he was put into a police vehicle.
The attack comes amid a series of high-profile incidents in Germany leading up to the elections, fueling debate on immigration and security. The far-right Alternative for Germany party has used these incidents to push for stricter immigration policies. The incident was reposted by White House adviser Elon Musk, who echoed the sentiment that Europe is unsafe and suggested that only the AfD party can save Germany.
Despite the heated atmosphere surrounding the election, crime rates in Germany are actually on the decline. The country remains shocked by these incidents, with authorities working to address security concerns and maintain public safety in the lead-up to the elections.
