A man, who is believed to have been fatally stabbed during an alleged attack on Federal Police officers in Mittelfranken, died from a gunshot wound to the abdomen, according to a spokeswoman for the Nuremberg-Furth Prosecutor's Office.

The 34-year-old Iranian is suspected of attacking the officers with a knife at the S-Bahnhof in Lauf an der Pegnitz near Nuremberg on the previous Sunday. When the three officers got out of their patrol car, he allegedly attacked them with a knife. One of the Federal Police officers shot in self-defense. The man died from his injuries.
