Man allegedly attacked police officers with knife in Bamberg
A 27-year-old man is alleged to have threatened police officers with a knife at the door of his Bamberg apartment and made stabbing motions toward them. When officers spoke to him in the stairwell, he is said to have aimed the knife at them before retreating into his apartment. During a later intervention, he was allegedly armed again and made stabbing motions toward one officer. The officer fended off the attack and additional personnel overpowered the man. The suspect suffered a head laceration during the arrest and was taken to hospital. A judge issued a detention order for placement on urgent suspicion of two counts of attempted homicide and further offences.
