BERLIN (AP) – A suspect has been arrested over last week’s stabbing attack at a gym in the western German city of Duisburg in which four people were seriously wounded, authorities said yesterday.
Prosecutor Jill Mc Culler said the man, a 26-year-old Syrian citizen, was arrested shortly after midnight, German news agency dpa reported. He was to be brought before a judge on Monday to determine whether he can be kept in custody pending possible charges.
Police on Friday had released pictures of a man sought in the attack after obtaining footage from a surveillance camera located near the John Reed Fitness studio where the attack took place last Tuesday.
Officials have said the attacker appeared to have targetted the most seriously injured victim, a 21-year-old man.
The other victims, also men, were two 24-year-olds and a 32-year-old.
