Berlin: Police arrested a man suspected in a stabbing attack Friday at Berlin's Holocaust Memorial that left a Spanish tourist seriously injured, police said.
There was no immediate indication of a motive for the attack, which comes two days before Germans vote in a national election on Sunday.
Statement Of Police Spokesman Florian Nath
Police spokesman Florian Nath told a news conference that the attack happened at 6 pm "probably with a knife. Maybe with something else". Nearly three hours later, a male suspect approached officer who had surrounded the memorial grounds. "He had blood on his hands and this made him very suspicious," Nath said.
Another stabbing in Berlin.

Is the AfD still “too radical” to cooperate with, because they call for Remigration?
Or is the “far right” really just an imaginary fabrication of establishment cowards who don’t want to be held accountable?
