One person was killed and four people injured in a stabbing spree by a man at a company in south-central Germany early this morning, according to local police and German media.
Police and paramedics descended on the premises of utility company Ueberlandwerk Rhoen, located on Sondheimer Street in the Bavarian town of Mellrichstadt, after receiving reports that a man had launched an attack with a knife.
Germany’s Bild newspaper reported that one of the victims had died after suffering multiple stab wounds to his upper body, including the neck.
A spokesperson for the company would not comment on the report and referred questions to the police, who confirmed there had been an attack but did not name the utility company.
The attacker was apprehended by police at the crime scene. He was swiftly taken into custody for interview.
Police have not yet established a motive for the attack.
