Paramedics responded to injured people in several places around the town center as the knifeman ran through the streets reportedly armed with a ‘kitchen knife’.

Police have now reportedly cordoned off the main square in Ravensburg and arrested the suspect

During the stabbing frenzy, which took place at around 4pm in the small market town, pedestrians fled into shops as they scrambled to get out of the attacker’s way.

Local website Schwaebische.de said he suffered cuts to his back and arm during the struggle.

Police later confirmed the suspect has been arrested and the area around the town’s main square has been cordoned off as they deal with the wounded.
