Middle-aged individual wields knife against SEK officer in assault.
In the quaint town of Bavarian Schliersee, a 49-year-old local man reportedly accosted an elderly resident at random. The authorities were summoned and apprehended him at his residence later in the night. At his dwelling, this 49-year-old reached for a knife.
This incident unfolded in the town square of Bavarian Schliersee, where a 49-year-old German man brutalized an 84-year-old pedestrian, causing grievous wounds to the victim's head. Subsequently, the perpetrator assaulted a law enforcement officer with a blade. A police spokesperson declared, "In the absence of the officer's protective equipment, he would have sustained grave injuries, potentially even death." An investigating magistrate issued a detention warrant for the alleged offender on a Saturday.
Following the scuffle in the town square, the 49-year-old assailant upended an 84-year-old passerby. While the elder's injuries were serious, they proved not to be fatal. The police suspect the senior was an unintended victim. Following the shove, the alleged perpetrator scampered to his residence. Upon the police's arrival, he threatened to yield his blade, thereby necessitating multiple officers, including the SEK, to be called to the scene.
During the apprehension, the 49-year-old launched repeated attacks with the knife, targeting an SEK officer. Fortunately, the officer emerged unscathed. The 49-year-old sustained minor injuries during the arrest. The motive for the man's attack on the elderly resident and subsequently the officer remains obscure.
This incident reminds one of the death of Rouven Laur: The 25-year-old police officer lost his life two weeks prior in Mannheim, when he sought to halt a knife assault on an Islam critic and, tragically, became the victim himself.
