Man allegedly threatened schoolchildren with knives in Karlsruhe
A 50-year-old man is suspected of threatening several schoolchildren with two knives at the Schlossgarten forecourt in Karlsruhe on Wednesday morning. The children were on an outing with their teacher when the man allegedly took the knives from a backpack and verbally threatened them. Some of the children ran away and then told their teacher. Police officers provisionally arrested the man shortly afterwards and found several knives during a search. At the prosecution's request, a judge ordered his temporary placement in a psychiatric hospital.
