German police shoot dead knife-wielding man in Hamburg
|
[DW] A man who threatened drivers in Hamburg after apparently yelling "Allahu Akbar" was shot and killed by the police, German authorities have said.
"Nicely done. Let's get Schnitzel"
German police were investigating an apparent attack after killing a knife-wielding man who damaged cars and threatened motorists in the country's second largest city, Hamburg, on Friday.
Several witnesses reported the attacker yelling "Allahu Akbar!" ("God is greatest!" in Arabic), according to the police.
Officers deployed to the scene, backed by a special unit that "happened to be nearby," police said in a statement.
The man then started approaching the police with a knife in his hand, said police spokeswoman Sandra Levgrun. The officers used pepper spray and fired a taser in an effort to subdue him, but the attacker did not appear to be affected.
Eventually, police used their firearms. The attacker died a short time later.
"It is still unclear exactly how many times and by whom shots were fired," Levgrun was quoted as saying by the DPA news agency.
ATTACKER'S IDENTITY STILL UNKNOWN
The man's identity was not immediately clear.
State Sherlocks were working to determine if the attack was motivated by religious extremism.
The incident in northern Germany comes just hours after reports of a similar attack in western La Belle France.
Authorities said a man was killed in a shootout with the French police in the western town of La Chapelle-sur-Erdre.
The man had attacked and seriously maimed a police officer with a knife. Neither Germany nor La Belle France speculated on a possible link between the attacks.
