A man was seriously injured after receiving a stab wound at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin. The author of the facts would be a man and is still on the run.
It is around 6 p.m. in Berlin when a man attacks a person who visited the Holocaust memorial on Friday, February 21. The victim would have received several stab wounds, according to German media. “The victim is a man, the injuries were caused by a stabbing weapon. Witnesses claim to have seen a man flee,” said a German police spokesperson. “We have absolutely no idea of the reasons,” said another spokesperson, who added that the victim had received “several strokes in the upper part of the body”.
The alleged perpetrator is still on the run. A foldable knife was even found on the scene. The memorial site has been closed and several fire trucks, as well as police vehicles, are present on site. In addition, an important police system has been deployed, especially on the site which brings together more than 2,000 concrete steles, memory of the millions of Jews exterminated by the Third Reich, which makes the place perfect to hide and flee without being seen. Police were deployed between the potsdamer Platz and the Alexanderplatz.
The victim should survive the attack
The victim, who was stabbed several times in the upper body, was quickly transported to the hospital to be operated on. His days would not be in danger, according to the firefighters from Berlin, as reported Le Figaro.
