Stabbing incident - Sign of grief and moment of reflection for slain law enforcement officer

This Friday at 11:34 AM, there will be a moment of silence observed, one week after a horrific knife attack on the city center's market square. Orchestrated by a 25-year-old individual, this violent act occurred during an event hosted by the Islam-critical movement Pax Europa (BPE). This incident resulted in six men getting injured, among them a police officer. Out of these injured, the 29-year-old victim succumbed to his wounds on Sunday afternoon. The assailant, holding Afghan citizenship, had mercilessly stabbed the officer in the head. The reason behind this heinous crime remains unknown.

In the evening, a rally is planned in Mannheim, where Strobl is scheduled to attend.
