Arrest warrant issued for man suspected of knife attack on German bus

A German court has issued an arrest warrant for a German-Iranian man suspected of carrying out a knife attack on a bus in the northern city of Luebeck but there is no indication that it was a terrorist attack, police and prosecutors said on Saturday.

 

Police said the 34-year-old German citizen wounded 10 people in the attack on Friday but there was no sign he was radicalized or had a terrorist motive.

 

Prosecutors said in a statement they had sought the arrest warrant for the man on suspicion of attempted murder as well as bodily harm and attempted arson. He was ordered to be remanded in custody.
