A German police officer died of his injuries after being stabbed several times while trying to pull somebody clear of a knife attack in Mannheim on Friday , police and prosecutors said in a joint statement late on Sunday.
The 29-year-old officer had been in hospital in a coma following the attack.
"He underwent an emergency operation immediately after the crime and was put into an artificial coma, but succumbed to his serious injuries late in the afternoon on Sunday, June 2," the joint statement said. "We mourn a police officer who gave his life for our safety."
What do we know about the suspect?
A 25-year-old man was filmed stabbing the police officer and five members of the anti-Islam citizen's movement calling itself PAX Europa at a booth in the city center the group had set up. One of those injured was a member of the group's advisory board, Michael Stürzenberger.
Investigators earlier said the suspect was an Afghan citizen who had been resident in Germany for around a decade. He had no criminal record and had not come to law enforcement's attention in the past, they said.
The suspect was eventually shot by police. As of Saturday evening, he was alive but in hospital and in no fit state to be interrogated, according to investigators. As a result, they said, his motives and the reason for his attack required further investigation.

Biggest mistake was not reinstalling The Kaiser after WWI.
We didn’t repeat that mistake with Hirohito after WWII.
The Left is violent, too. Who fired the first short in America’s first civil war? Who will fire first shot in the upcoming second one?
“Smite the necks of the unbelievers”.
I feel bad for him but he turned his back on a crazied muzzie on a stabbing spree.
Talk about MSM bias in the first sentence.

Yep. Wilhelm II made the same mistake made by Russia’s Tsar Nicholas II and Italy’s King Victor Emmanuel III. They all waited too long to abdicate in favor of a still-popular relative.
Ah, what might have been.
When under attack noboy knows exactly how they will react....an officer will go after the one he sees as the perp....and do what he’s trained to do. Unfortunely nobody had this officers back...
If the poor cop thought an unarmed citizen was a bigger threat than an Islamist on a knife rampage, I’d say that’s a textbook case of his karma running over his dogma.
> … an officer will go after the one he sees as the perp....and do what he’s trained to do. <
True that. But didn’t the officer see who had the knife, and who didn’t? I guess this tragedy was a combination of misapplied training and political correctness.
I'm no LEO, but I don't think you should turn your back to an armed assailant.

What’s really interesting about this longer version of the video, you see the police still arrest the AfD people who tried to stop the agent of Aloha Snackbar.
Thanks.
I left Manheim in 97, went back in 2001, and then again in 2023. The descent has been both alarming, and sad. The German’s can’t (or won’t) see it: they are losing their country to an invasion force made up of unemployable thugs hanging about the bahnhof, and head-scarved women pushing multiple prams in the parks.
Avoided the officer’s ballistic vest, and struck near the carotid artery and all the nerves that come from the spine through the neck and shoulder. Either good, or lucky attack. That Polizei officer was doomed. Prayers for his family.
