A harrowing video is making the rounds online after German police said they shot and wounded a man armed with a knife who attacked a right-wing demonstration in the southwestern city of Mannheim on Friday.
Social media footage showed a bearded man in glasses attacking people in the city’s central Marktplatz square with a knife. One person appears to be stabbed in the leg and a policeman who tries to intervene appears to be cut in the neck. That policeman, a 29-year-old officer, later succumbed to his injuries. In all, six people were stabbed. Another policeman ultimately shot the attacker, ending the violence.
