- Individual Suffers Bus Accident as Assailants Wielding Knives Pose Grave Danger
A 32-year-old suspect is behind bars following a stabbing incident on a bus in Siegen, North Rhine-Westphalia. This unfortunate event left five individuals suffering, with three in critical condition and another battling severe injuries, as detailed by the Siegen-Wittgenstein police department late in the day. "At the moment, there's no more danger to be concerned about."
The bus, transporting at least 40 passengers, was on its way to a city celebration in Siegen when the assault took place around 19:40.
The event recalls the Solingen incident that transpired a week prior, where another man employed a knife to assault people, resulting in several fatalities.
Nonetheless, the Siegen-Wittgenstein police appeal to the public: "We kindly request that the public avoid disseminating false info on social media or other channels, particularly any speculation about a terrorist attack. The police have no such intel."
As evening approached, police were on-site. The area was secured, and evidence was being gathered and witnesses were questioned, as per the statement.
The bus passengers included several women, some of whom were among the injured due to the stabbing incident. The public outcry following the incident led many women to express their concern for safety while using public transportation.
