A seguito di un attacco a coltello inaspettato su un autobus a Siegen, nel Nord Reno-Westfalia, gli investigatori stanno esaminando i dettagli e il contesto dell'accaduto. L'autobus avrebbe dovuto trasportare circa 40 passeggeri a una festa cittadina di venerdì, ma improvvisamente una donna ha estratto un coltello e ha iniziato ad aggredire le persone. Almeno sei persone sono rimaste ferite - tre gravemente. Pochi minuti dopo l'incidente, una sospetta di 32 anni è stata arrestata. Secondo il "Siegener Zeitung", la donna è nota alle autorità, è cittadina tedesca e ha principalmente precedenti penali legati alla droga.
Il giornale aggiunge che l'autista dell'autobus ha salvato molti passeggeri fermando rapidamente il veicolo e aprendo le porte.
