In the Saxon city of Riesa, a police officer shot a Libyan man after he attacked him with two knives. The 43-year-old foreigner had previously been on the rampage in his flat. A neighbour made an emergency call.
The police patrol that rushed to the scene tried to talk to the man. “However, the man refused to open the door and refused any police contact,” a police spokesperson said. The man then threatened with both knives as he stood at the window, saying he would use them against the officers if they entered his flat.
Shortly before an alarmed special unit arrived at the scene, the Libyan came out of his flat and attacked a police officer with the stabbing weapons. The officer then drew his pistol and shot the migrant. The injured man was taken to a hospital in Leipzig. The police are now investigating whether the shooting was justified.
There have been more knife attacks committed by migrants on police officers recently. And in some cases the officers made use of the firearm.
