The attacker then fled. Police detained the suspect in a nearby garden later.

Police were still investigating possible motives for the attack and whether the suspect and the victims knew each other. They did not release any details on the attacker’s identity or those of the victims as is customary in Germany.

German news agency dpa reported that the alleged attacker is a Serb and the two women also have Serbian nationality, while the wounded man is from Bosnia-Herzegovina.
