On Saturday morning shots rang out in the Frankfurt train station district. Then a man (27) lay bleeding on the street.
The Somali had previously been traveling with two knives and had attacked a man on Elbestrasse. When the African attacked his victim again, the officers stopped him with several shots.
According to the investigators, the 27-year-old went into a multi-storey building on Elbestrasse at around 11.50 a.m. There he visited a man (65) in his office. He drew two knives and attacked the man.
The victim was able to defend himself with pepper spray - the attacker ran away and ran in the direction of Niddastraße. The 65-year-old chased him.
Passers-by alerted a patrol: the police discovered the knife man and asked him to drop his knife. Then the 27-year-old only said: "I kill you" ("I kill you").
Then the 27-year-old saw his victim and ran towards the 65-year-old: He fell and was slightly injured.
The 27-year-old then attacked the man with both knives in hand - the officers shot several times and arrested the attacker. The knife man came to a clinic (gunshot wound to the right thigh). There was no mortal danger. He was supposed to go to the judge on Sunday.
The homicide squad is now investigating that the 27-year-old is on trial for attempted manslaughter. A Police spokesman told "The background has to be clarified."
On Monday it became known that a judge had issued an arrest warrant for attempted manslaughter and threats against the 27-year-old. He is still in the hospital because of his gunshot wounds.
