Two people were killed in a stabbing attack in a park in the city of Aschaffenburg in Germany, German police said on Wednesday. Two suspects were arrested.
A suspect allegedly tried to escape by crossing the railway tracks, which caused train traffic to stop in Aschaffenburg. According to the railway company, trains to and from Aschaffenburg are currently at a standstill.
According to the German news agency DPA, one of the victims was a child.
The alleged perpetrator, a man, was arrested at the scene. Initially, two people were arrested, but one of them was later removed from the list of suspects. According to the police, there is no indication that there are other suspects and there is no longer any danger for the population of this city, located not far from Frankfurt.
-Aschaffenburg is located in the state of Bavaria, just under 40 kilometers southeast of Frankfurt am Main. Schöntal Park is located near the city center. According to a spokesperson, police still patrol there on foot. This may be one of the reasons why the suspects were able to be arrested quickly.
