An Afghan man assaulted a kindergarten group with a knife, killing a boy and a 41-year-old passerby at the Bavarian town of Aschaffenburg’s Schöntal Park city center.

A knife assault killed four individuals in Aschaffenburg’s park. According to authorities, two victims died from their injuries: a two-year-old kid and a 41-year-old man. The other two are being hospitalized in hospitals for significant injuries.

A 28-year-old Afghan national is accused of committing the crime. The man was apprehended close to the crime site. Officials do not suspect any other offenders. A second individual, who was originally apprehended, has been ruled out as a witness to the incident.

The circumstances surrounding the incident are still unknown. The probe is currently “in full swing,” according to reports.

According to authorities, the fatal attack happened about 11:45 a.m. at Schöntal Park. The crime scene was blocked off across a large area, which impacted nearby rail traffic. The major train station in Aschaffenburg was temporarily closed owing to the operation, according to a railway spokesperson. Regional trains to and from Aschaffenburg were first delayed, and ICE trains were diverted.

The authorities are appealing for assistance from potential witnesses. “We are currently preparing a portal that you can use to send us your relevant pictures and videos,” Lower Franconia Police Headquarters declared on X. Eyewitnesses to the event may also contact the police emergency number 110 or a police station.

Schöntal Park is near to the city core. According to a spokeswoman, the police monitor the area sometimes. This may also have allowed the culprit to be apprehended promptly. It is presently being explored if witnesses to the crime assisted.

Only in November did the police classify areas of Schöntal Park as “dangerous places.”. Police Chief Frank Eckhardt stated at the time that the crimes committed were predominantly drug-related, with robbery and physical assault occurring inside this drug milieu. However, it was objectively safe to visit Schöntal Park.
