Several people were injured in an apparent knife attack aboard a bus in northern Germany on Friday.
More than 12 people were injured, at least two seriously, after the perpetrator got on the bus in Lubeck, about 44 miles northeast of Hamburg, local media reported. There were conflicting reports on the number of injured people and the severity of the injuries.
Earlier, authorities tweeted about a "major police deployment in Luebeck."
"We are examining the situation and will give more information later," police officials wrote.
A witness told LN the bus was full of passengers when the suspected perpetrator dropped his backpack and started attacking people with what appeared to be a kitchen knife.
"The passengers jumped out of the bus and screamed," an eyewitness told LN. "It was terrible, and then the injured were taken away," another eyewitness told the newspaper.
The suspect, believed to be in his 30s, fled the bus and was quickly arrested by police.
No further details were immediately available. Police said authorities were still trying to determine the circumstances of and motive for the attack.
This is a developing story. Please check back for more details.

A Ginsu commercial, not terrorism.
Soon the German media will claim this maniac colluded with the Russians.
Nope. Apparently no wolves involved.
Just another lone knife.
Feral descendants of Kaiser Wilhelm again.
Nothing to see thee. It was merely a moozlum “worshipping” by murdering nonmoozlums. Stop criticizing these “incidents” and be culturally sensitive and accepting.
Wait, that's not what the pious, virtue signalling Left assured everyone. And they labeled any who disagreed as a racist. See how that works? Agree with them or you are a racist. And now they are reaping the destruction they have sanctimoniously sowed.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Let me guess, definitely not Amish, could the attacker be a “Muzzie”? I realize that is far reaching but definitely a great possibility.
But...but...Russkies who sell gas are their best buddies?
The knife weilding Iranian immigrant in his thirties will no doubt have a MAGA hat inside that backpack with the improvised explosive which failed to detonate?
“With a corrupt, propagandistic media, what they DON”T tell you generally DOES tell you exactly what you want to know.
If the attack was begun by a WHITE, CHRISTIAN Republican, those facts would be lead headline.
What didn’t they tell you??? There’s your answer.
We may never know his motive
“Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.” - The Army Chief of Staff, Gen. George Casey,
Per a German language media outlet, the perp is a 34 YO non-German. And there is no indication that the attack is terror related.
Snort.

Just updated! Perp is from Iran, but has German citizenship.
Whoaaakay...
“major police deployment”
Dirty Harry would have been enough.
Authorities are always “baffled.” They can’t identify the perp, the weapon, nor count the dead and wounded. About the only thing they can do is unroll yellow DO NOT CROSS tape.
I was a counterterrorism/counterinsurgency intel officer for a long time and every time I see one of those stupid FBI announcements proclaiming, “There’s no evidence this incident was connected to terrorism” I get pissed off. A bomb - ANY bomb, anywhere - or any other attack intended to kill civilians is evidence of terrorism, whether conducted by Muslims, ALF or the Black Panthers. It may not be direct, conclusive evidence at the outset, but it is evidence. If, after proclaiming no connection to terrorism and after conducting an investigation it turns out to be terrorism (which the Bureau rarely makes public), is the bombing not considered evidence?
That was one of the worst things ever uttered by a American military leader.
That loser basically said that his troops lives were worth less than the demands of identity-politics.
“The suspect is a 34-year-old man who lives locally. Hingst said he is a longtime German citizen who was born in Iran.”
