Police spokesman Bjoern Reusch told The Associated Press that witnesses said the 21-year-old asylum-seeker, who was known to police, was having an argument with the woman before attacking her about 4:30 p.m. The suspect, whose name was not released, wounded another woman and a man as he fled.
Investigators were still trying to determine the motive behind the attack, but Reusch said “there are no indications this was a terrorist act.”
The Bild newspaper reported the woman worked at the kebab stand near where confrontation took place.
The attack comes as Germany is on edge following a rampage at a Munich mall on Friday night by an 18-year-old who suffered psychological problems in which nine people were killed, and an ax attack on a train a week ago that left five wounded in southern Germany, for which the Islamic State has claimed responsibility.
Some Germans are also fearful of any signs of a rise in crime or lawlessness after the country registered some 1 million asylum-seekers last year.
Netanyahu warned the world,but nobody paid attention. Now the moslem murders are all over the western world.
A Syrian refugee, you mean? Stop beating around the bush by using alternative terms, media.
I knew the Syrian refugees were trouble when they walked in. We all did. But PC-ness won and people are dying.
If Hillary gets in, these Syrian refuges will be coming to a neighborhood near you.
the liberal/socialist demoRATS will push this agenda even if it kills them and it will!!!
Not an act of terrorism, but possibly an act of charity??? The fact is, it was a terrorist act, perhaps not in the name of Islam, and committed by a Muslim.
so who cares what name you give it????
It was a domestic dispute, not terrorism this time. Reports saying that the woman was pregnant r”l.
You asked for it, Europe, and here they are!!!! Enjoy the intentional destruction of your society !!! דמד
