Frankfurt: Main City - Uncertain motives behind knife assault on Main River's edge.
In Frankfurt, a knife assault on a 41-year-old woman by a 19-year-old left people baffled. At the Main River, this incident took place. The Frankfurt Public Prosecutor's Office, in a statement on Thursday, confirmed the ongoing investigation. The young man tried to stab a woman sitting on a park bench unexpectedly using a cutter knife on Monday. Evidence suggests no political motive, as mentioned by Senior Public Prosecutor Dominik Mies on Wednesday.
According to the investigators, the woman escaped and covered a few meters before tripping and falling. The Afghan then continued stabbing her there. The two strangers had never met, according to the Public Prosecutor's Office. The woman was rushed to the hospital with severe injuries, but she was not close to death, they added. The latest update on her whereabouts was unavailable from the Public Prosecutor's Office on Thursday.
The attacker fled when witnesses became alarmed by the woman's screams. The police located the man shortly after the incident in a bush on Monday afternoon and he's been in prison since Tuesday. The Public Prosecutor's Office is now probing attempted murder charges together with other offenses related to the 19-year-old.
