A German court on Saturday ordered a 25-year-old man born in Afghanistan held on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with a knife attack at an event organized by a group opposing “political Islam” that left six people injured.
The victims included a police officer who remained hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, the Associated Press reported.
Officials offered no information regarding the motive for the attack on May 31 in the city of Mannheim.
Officials said that the suspect, who was shot and wounded by police, was hospitalized and not in a condition to be questioned.
They said he had lived in Germany since 2014 and had no police record.
