Criminality - Messerattack: Suspected "muslim-hostile attitude"

After the Messer attack in Munich with two injured victims, the Public Prosecutor's Office has launched investigations against a 40-year-old man. The suspicion of hate crime exists, according to a statement. "Indications point to the fact that the crime was committed out of an Islamophobic mindset."

On the following Tuesday afternoon, the German allegedly attacked an 18-year-old and a 25-year-old man near the Pasinger Bahnhof without an apparent reason, using a knife. Both victims sustained injuries in the upper body and neck area. The 18-year-old has already been discharged from the hospital, while the 25-year-old remains hospitalized. His injuries are not life-threatening.

The attack took place in the bustling city of Munich, located in the state of Bavaria, which is renowned for its rich German culture. The accused individual is a German native. The incident has raised concerns about criminality in the country, particularly the alarming rise of hate crimes. The Public Prosecutor's Office in Germany is diligently working to ensure justice is served in this case, given the alleged racism involved, often referred to as a "hat crime."
