Four people injured in attack by man with knife in Germany
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] A woman and three men were injured in an attack by a knife-wielding assailant in northwestern Germany. This was reported on October 19 by the Peiner Allgemeine Zeitung (PAZ) newspaper.

The incident occurred on the evening of October 19 in the town of Fahlstedt in the federal state of Lower Saxony. It is specified that a woman aged 78 and three men aged 18, 66 and 73 were injured. All four received serious injuries of varying severity and required urgent hospitalization. Several ambulances and a rescue helicopter arrived at the scene.

The police officers who arrived at the scene detained the suspect, a 32-year-old man, who offered no resistance. He was taken to the police station. The man's motives for the act remain unknown; he had not previously come to the attention of law enforcement agencies and has no criminal record.

Earlier, Regnum reported that in Germany at the end of August, a high-profile attack by a Syrian citizen armed with a knife on people during a festival in Solingen took place. As a result of the attack, three people were killed and eight were injured. The incident sparked serious debates in society on the topic of migration and the tightening of migration policy.
The Peiner Allgemeine Zeitung spells the village name as Vallstedt, adding:
All four people had swept the walkway on Grünen Allee with a broom or were in their front gardens when they were suddenly attacked indiscriminately by the Vallstedter (32) with a knife. Both the perpetrator and the victims are Germans. All those involved - victims and alleged perpetrators - live in the same house, as police spokesman Malte Jansen confirmed.

"They knew each other, but it was not an act of relationship," says a family member of one of the victims.

The 32-year-old was questioned at the Peiner police station. Jansen says: "After initial interrogations, there are indications that the suspect could have a mental illness.
So possibly nuts versus Sudden Jihad Syndrome — or possibly both. Let us together await enlightenment.
The investigation into the background is ongoing.” The Vallstedter was presented to a judge at the competent Braunschweig district court on Sunday to decide whether he will be in pre-trial detention. At the request of the Braunschweig Public Prosecutor's Office, the suspect was subsequently detained and taken to a prison.

According to the police spokesman, the 32-year-old "was not conspicuous before and had no criminal record".

Local mayor Hans-Jürgen Mintel did not know the alleged perpetrator either. Therefore, he could not say whether the 32-year-old, who is said to have committed the crime, has psychological problems. He only knows that the alleged perpetrator lived very withdrawn. "I once had a beer with one of the victims," he then pushes.
