BERLIN (Worthy News) – A woman stabbed and wounded six people in a bus in western Germany, a week after the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for a similar incident.
The 32-year-old suspect, a German national, was arrested following the attack in the town of Siegen.
At least 40 people were on the bus traveling to a city festival at the time of the incident, officials said. Three of the victims are in a life-threatening condition, according to authorities.
The incident comes a week after a deadly knife attack in Solingen that shook the country and forced the government to announce changes to asylum policies. Islamic State claimed that attack, which left three people dead and eight wounded.
The suspected perpetrator is a 26-year-old Syrian man who was previously due for deportation to Bulgaria.
Following the incident, Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government imposed new restrictions on carrying knives in public places. It also announced curbing benefits for some illegal migrants.
On Tuesday, police shot dead a man suspected of attacking passersby with knives in the western town of Moers near Solingen.
However, the incidents have fueled a debate about the influx of mainly Muslim migrants fleeing war, persecution, and poverty.
Germany said it has carried out its first deportation of convicted Afghan offenders since the return of the Taliban to power in Afghanistan three years ago.
The flight came a week after three people were fatally stabbed at a street festival in Solingen.
