Briefly

On January 22, a knife attack in Schontal Park, Aschaffenburg, left two people dead, including a two-year-old boy, and several injured. The assailant, Enamullah O., a 28-year-old Afghan national, attacked a group of young children in broad daylight, resulting in public horror and outrage. Local politicians expressed disbelief at the brutality of the crime, emphasizing concerns for community safety. The man who died attempted to intervene, which prevented further tragedy. The attacker had a history of mental illness and prior police reports, raising questions about how such incidents can be prevented in the future.
"For one thing, the fact that young children were the target of the attack. And secondly, the brutality of the attack. Unbelievable, in broad daylight in the middle of our city."
"Thanks to his actions, other children were saved from death," said Joachim Herrmann (CSU), Bavarian Minister of the Interior.
