A person has been stabbed to death, and four more injured, in a knife attack at a German supermarket.

Police arrested one man after the stabbing, which took place on Friday afternoon at a branch of the Edeka supermarket on the outskirts on Hamburg.

German tabloid Bild published a photograph of a bloodied figure in the back of a car whom they said was the suspect:

The Hamburg police department said members of the public subdued the man, who was then arrested. He is the only suspect.

Police do not yet have a motive for the killing. Bild also reported accounts from witnesses who said the man shouted "allahu akbar" ("God is great" in Arabic) during the attack.

Can't figure out a motive here.

Police do not yet have a motive for the killing.

And apparently the police can't figure out a motive either. I wonder what it was that caused the man to kill random people.

So the Hamburg police only intervened after citizens took all the risks. Frau Merkel will have him released shortly with an abject apology and beacoup €'s. Must have been a halal shortage at the supermarket that triggered his dismay.

Apparently “Allah akhbar” translates to “I am murdering you for no reason even remotely associated with islime.”

Who knew??

The perp was shouting “Allah Akbar” - but the cops are still looking for a motive.

I was just in Germany (Munich) last November for the Christmas markets. I think I’ll skip Oktoberfest.

If only we could establish a motive.

"allahu akbar" ("God is great")

I'm so confused. I read that accurately translates to "Allah is greatest".

I notice that the German police have the perp’s head literally covered by a gag. Maybe to hide his (ethnic) identity?

And yet no motive...

Angela Murkel should be locked up with this guy for one day.

German language media is reporting that the “Allahu Akbar” is unconfirmed, and the motive is unclear

Snort.

I believe accurately translated it means “moozlums are uncivilized savages who want to chop off you nonmoozlum head”.

I have been in Germany six weeks now. Every little town has more than a few muslims. The women are all fat and unfriendly. The Muslim men are surly. And they all gave many children
