Attacker killed woman. And of course, ‘motive unclear’.

Update:

The attack was actually stopped by a BMW driver who hit the attacker with his car and saved it from being worse.

Update:

Police are saying they don’t think it is terrorism at this point. He was ‘known to the police’.

Police say a Syrian asylum-seeker killed a woman with a machete and wounded two others outside a bus station in the southwestern German city of Reutlingen before being arrested.

Police spokesman Bjoern Reusch said in a statement Sunday that witnesses said the 21-year-old man, who was known to police, was having an argument with the woman before attacking her about 4:30 p.m. Police say the motive behind the attack is still not clear.

The attack comes as Germany is on edge following a rampage at a Munich mall on Friday night in which nine people were killed, and an ax attack on a train a week ago that left five wounded in southern Germany.

Update:

Video of attack. You can hear a witness shouting ‘My God, My God, he’s attacking her with a knife!”

Update:

According to the NZ Herald, he was known to the police because “the asylum-seeking Syrian man had been involved in previous incidents causing injuries to other people, police said”.

So exactly why was he still there and not kicked out?
