Multiple people were seriously injured when a knife-wielding suspect ambushed a prominent critic of Islam during a public event in Germany on Friday, according to reports.
The shocking incident unfolded at around 11:30 a.m. local time in Mannheim, a city in the state of Baden-Württemberg.
Michael Stürzenberger, a well-known political figure and opponent of the Islamization of Europe, was preparing for an event in the city’s central square when a crazed man brandishing a large blade launched a brutal stabbing rampage.
The entire episode was caught on camera by a member of Stürzenberger’s team who was live-streaming at the time.
