German police arrested an Afghan teenage asylum seeker after he stabbed three people in a small southwestern town. In a stunning turn of events, he was in the end apprehended by the local mayor who was passing by and who was able to reason with the attacker to put down the knife.
The 19-year-old Afghan was arrested late Friday evening after he had stabbed three people, 2 other asylum seekers and a German man in the town centre of Ravensburg.

The victims were two other asylum-seekers aged 19 and 20, this time from Syria, as well as a 52-year-old German man who can be seen bleeding in the video above. All three were taken to hospital where one of them remains in a critical condition.
Police claim that so far, they are still trying to work out the motive for the attack, adding that they ruled out terrorism.
Parts of the southwestern town centre were closed off for much of the afternoon as experts interviewed witnesses and examined the scene. The two Syrian victims were lying at a bus stop near one of the city's cobbled stoned main squares. The third man, the older German, was stabbed in the back some 50 meters further. It is reported he tried to stop the fight between the three.

In the end, the suspect was apprehended by Ravensburg's mayor, Daniel Rapp, who stated: "The perpetrator stood in front of me suddenly with a bloody knife and threatened me."
"Then I told him to put the knife down."
Police stated after arresting the man that he appeared to have acted alone, with "no evidence to suggest there were accomplices."
Germany has local elections on 14 October in its Southern Bavaria region. The anti-immigrant AfD party has become the second biggest political force in the polls.
Social media criticized German broadcasters ARD and ZDF for not reporting the stabbing.
