German police have shot dead a man who tried to attack officers with a knife in the city of Gelsenkirchen.

The man struck a police car with an object and attempted to assault officers who were standing by the vehicle, a police spokesman said.

He was holding a knife behind his back and refused to cooperate with officers, police told AFP news agency.

The man, who was Turkish, was warned by officers to stop his attack before he was shot, but refused.

Wow. Impressive, factual naming of suspect.

Face it...moozlums want to murder you and your children. Some will just dream of it, others will attempt to do it.
