BERLIN — A man has been arrested in connection with a weekend knife attack on a tram in the German city of Dresden in which an American national was wounded, prosecutors said Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old male victim was attacked just after midnight on Sunday while the tram was at a stop. Police said that he intervened when two men harassed a woman on board the tram and was then attacked himself before the men fled. He sustained a deep wound to the face.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Embassy in Berlin condemned the \u201cbrutal attack\u201d in a post Monday on social network X. \u201cWe urge German authorities to swiftly bring the perpetrators to justice and punish them to the fullest extent permitted by law,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
A 21-year-old Syrian detained on Sunday over the attack was initially let go because prosecutors didn’t at that point have grounds to keep him in custody. <\/p>\n
Prosecutors and police said in a statement that the man was rearrested on Tuesday morning after new information pointed to him having been involved in the attack. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has been arrested in connection with a knife attack on a tram in Dresden, Germany, in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375933,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5310],"tags":[131304,3907,34744,188,2000,299,4179,1824,2003,8520,263],"class_list":{"0":"post-375932","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-germany","8":"tag-131304","9":"tag-article","10":"tag-assault","11":"tag-crime","12":"tag-eu","13":"tag-europe","14":"tag-general-news","15":"tag-germany","16":"tag-law-enforcement","17":"tag-violence","18":"tag-world-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115097182506925006","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375932","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375932"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375932\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
