Knife attack at Regensburg bank: one dead

A man died in a knife attack at a bank branch in Regensburg in eastern Bavaria. The victim sustained severe injuries in the branch and was taken to a hospital, where he died despite medical treatment.

Special units freed two other people from the building and secured the area around the bank. The attacker initially remained inside the building before police arrested him. Because the suspect was initially with other people in the building, there was initially concern that he had taken hostages. However, police resolved the situation successfully, according to German media reports.

Investigators believe the perpetrator acted alone. The suspect is said to be a 20-year-old German national. Police are investigating on suspicion of murder and robbery. The motive for the act remains unknown.
