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.

I see, so the knife decided to attack people and slash them. Couldn't be that steady stream of "migrants" that merkel invited in and can't get rid of.

It will surely not be terrorist or migrant related. None of them are…..

With a corrupt, propagandistic media, what they DON”T tell you is just as important as what they do.

This SOB should have every square inch of skin removed from his body 1 square inch at a time.

Pop quiz —

The attacker’s name will turn out to be ...

A) Gerhardt
B) Sven
C) Olga
D) Mohammed

Extra credit if you guess his native country. And double points if you get his religion correct.

Merkel should have tried to talk gently with the attacker first.

If an immigrant did this, do people like Merkel,Schumer,Pelosi and others feel any remorse or are they laughingly setting off for a nice weekend on the way to a multimillion dollar gated community with full armed security forces?

Unlike all of us.

And if we do this to these attackers often enough as the days go by its will no longer be an ACLU “cruel and unusual punishment” talking point.

It will be as usual and commonplace as a leftist comedian being vulgar and loathsome.

Nothing to see here, just move on.

"No further details"

And that's all you're going to get.

Hey! It’s not my father’s name! LOL not many people know “Gerhardt” at all! Kudos to you.

Olga...wouldn’t that maybe suggest a tranny? We know it’s a “guy” of some sort...

An Iranian - and, he tried to detonate an improvised explosive or incidiary device he had with him:

...nach Angaben der Polizei hatte der Busfahrer ein Feuer im Bus bemerkt und angehalten. Es stammt wohl von dem qualmenden Rucksack, den der Täter offensichtlich in dem Bus zurückgelassen hatte. Der Rucksack mit der brennbaren Flüssigkeit ist noch in dem Bus. Angeblich soll es sich um Spiritus handeln, Tatwaffe war ein Küchenmesser.

Baffled: The perpetual state of politically-correct government agencies - including the FBI; “There’s no reason to believe this incident was an act of terrorism.”
