The police were called to a single-family house in the cooperative road in Wolmirstedt (Saxony-Anhalt) on Friday evening around 9.30 p.m. A family had invited others to view a football match. Shortly after the start of the game, an unknown person appeared in the yard with a knife, immediately stabbed three of the football fans.

According to information from the police, the perpetrator was an Afghan (27). According to “Magdeburger Volksstimme”, he is said to have already threatened people with a knife in the garden opposite. Local residents called the police.

What the allotment gardeners did not suspect: The stranger, who ran through the plots, had attacked and killed a man (23), also from Afghanistan, with a knife just a few minutes earlier in his prefabricated apartment on the Street of German Unity.

After leaving the garden, the knife man apparently penetrated directly into the property on the cooperative path, stabbed the football fans indiscriminately. A man (75) and a woman (50) were seriously injured, another man (56) was slightly injured.

When the police arrived after a few minutes, the perpetrator also attacked the officers. “There was the use of firearms,” said a police spokeswoman to BILD on Saturday morning. The man died as a result.
