At least six people were wounded after an assailant attacked them with a knife on a passenger train near the western German city of Aachen. The suspect has been detained by police.

Several people are being treated in hospital after being injured during an attack on a train in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), officials said on Friday.

Herbert Reul, the NRW state interior minister, said six people were wounded, including the suspected attacker. Reul said the suspect struck passengers "indiscriminately and arbitrarily."

Reul also said that "based on everything that we know so far," investigators believed the perpetrator's intent was to harm as many people as possible.
What do we know about the attack?

The attack took place on a regional passenger train around Herzogenrath, near the city of Aachen, on Friday morning.

Four people were taken to the hospital, although none of the passengers sustained life-threatening injuries. The victims sustained wounds to their hands and cut wounds to their faces.

The suspect is a 31-year-old man who was born in Iraq, although his citizenship remains unclear, Reuel told reporters. The state interior minister added that investigators are probing a possible extremist motive behind the attack.

In 2017, the man was flagged by authorities as a person potentially at risk for religious radicalization after his behavior considerably changed during his time living in a refugee shelter, Reuel said. Since then, however, there have been no further incidents.

A 60-year-old federal police officer, who was off-duty and happened to be on the train, managed to overpower and detain the male suspect with the help of two other passengers, officials said. There were 270 passengers on board the train at the time of the attack.

Around 200 officers were deployed to the scene. Authorities have closed the track while investigations are ongoing.

You think such a lenient 'punishment' as being deported is fitting?

Nope. But IRL it would be the best case scenario (and probably won't happen). In other thread I said that if I were on charge I'd imprison that piece of scum a couple of weeks with daily beatings and if he's still alive by then, drop him somewhere in the middle of the Mediterranean.

Of course that won't happen. But this is a very serious crime, it's not like he was caught stealing copper wires from someone's backyard. The moro is awaiting the court now and based on the charges given, your suggestion of punishment would actually be preferable for him. No worries, justice will claim him.
