German authorities arrested a suspect in connection with a stabbing that left a 30-year-old Spanish tourist seriously injured at Berlin’s Holocaust memorial on Friday evening. The incident occurred two days before Germany’s national elections on Sunday.
Police have not yet disclosed a motive for the attack, nor have they made any connections between the stabbing and the nearby US Embassy or the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Investigations are ongoing, with police searching the area for additional clues.
The victim is expected to recover from their injuries, which were deemed non-life-threatening. The suspect was arrested after being seen near the memorial, where they had blood on their hands. Police say further searches are underway to gather more information.
Germany’s national elections are scheduled to take place on Sunday, and Chancellor Olaf Scholz has vowed that there will be consequences for the perpetrator.
