Two people were killed in an act of violence in a park in Aschaffenburg. The police confirmed this South German newspaper. People were also injured in the attack, but officials have not yet provided any information about the exact number. The police temporarily arrested two suspects. The crime scene was largely cordoned off. There is no danger to the population, said the spokesman.
The background to the attack was initially unclear. Because a suspect is said to have tried to escape over the railway tracks, rail traffic in Aschaffenburg was stopped. According to the railway, trains to and from Aschaffenburg are currently being held back. It was initially impossible to predict how big the impact would be on regional and long-distance transport.
Aschaffenburg is located in the Bavarian administrative region of Lower Franconia, near the state border with Hesse. The park called Schöntal is close to the city center. The police are there from time to time with foot patrols, as the spokesman said. This may be one of the reasons why the suspects could have been caught quickly.
Whether witnesses helped the crime is currently being clarified. According to the city, the historical park in the English garden style is just over nine hectares in size.
