Another knife attack in Germany. The German police are “protecting his [the suspect’s] identity.” You know what that means.

Karl Lagerfeld: “One cannot — even if there are decades between them — kill millions of Jews so you can bring millions of their worst enemies in their place.”

The German police are “protecting his [the suspect’s] identity.” So you know what that means.

BERLIN — Detectives launched a large-scale manhunt across Berlin on Friday after a stabbing at the city’s Holocaust memorial, two days before the country’s national elections.

Three hours after the incident, officers sweeping through streets near the scene came upon an unidentified man whose hands were covered in blood, police said. He surrendered without saying anything, Florian Nath, lead spokesperson for the city’s police department, told NBC News at the scene.

Officers were called to the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe at 6 p.m. local time, where a male Spanish tourist, 30, had serious but non-threatening stab wounds to his upper body, Nath said. He added the weapon was “something very sharp that could cause severe injuries to your upper body,” such as a knife or a screwdriver.

The site comprises 2,711 concrete slabs on a site across the street from the U.S. Embassy and near the Brandenburg Gate. Six other people were traumatized after witnessing the attack and were recovering in the care of officers, they said.

That triggered a manhunt of 80 to 100 plainclothes and uniformed officers searching this city of almost 4 million people.

“Very often the suspects returned to the crime scene, and in this case, it was like that,” Nath said. “We arrested him immediately and found a lot of evidence he was carrying with him,” he said, declining to say what that evidence was but adding that he carried no ID.
