Unlawful act - Man turns himself in following stabbing incident in Zug
A man in his thirties is accused of stabbing another man on a regional train in Saarland and has now turned himself in. He will be presented to a judge later today, according to a representative for the Saarbrücken Federal Police.
No details about the motive have been provided yet. Further questioning is needed, and investigations will be carried out in various directions.
Here's what we know so far
The suspect is a Turkish national with no prior history of contact with police. He allegedly attacked a 21-year-old man on the train with a knife, leaving him with non-life-threatening injuries. The victim sustained a stab wound in the neck area.
The knife used in the incident was found at the station. Authorities have also reviewed video footage from the train, according to the spokesperson. It appears that the victim and the accused had never met before. They sat across from each other in a four-seater compartment on the train.
Medical staff at the scene reportedly treated the injured man before he was taken to the hospital for surgery. It's assumed that there were witnesses to the crime. So far, no one has come forward.
The attack occurred shortly before the train stopped at the main station in Saarbrücken. After about two hours of searching with both federal and state police, the man was found and turned himself in.
