A fight broke out at a public viewing event in the fan area in Stuttgart on Wednesday evening, which resulted in a stabbing. It was around 10.45 pm when the man pulled out a knife during the match between the Czech Republic and Turkey and stabbed three people. All three were injured and had to be taken to hospital by the ambulance service.
A suspect was arrested later that night. The police told NIUS that the man was a Syrian national. The police cordoned off Stuttgart’s Schlossplatz and criminal investigation specialists secured evidence.
The police announced on the X platform on Thursday night: “The Schlossplatz is now largely empty and there is no current danger situation here”. A tip-off website has been set up where witnesses can upload their pictures, videos and tips. The public viewing on the Schlossplatz in Stuttgart offers space for up to 30,000 fans.
