A woman has been killed and two others have been injured in a machete attack near Stuttgart in Germany. Police have arrested a man in connection with the attack in the small city of Reutlingen in the south-west of the country. German newspaper Bild reported the man struck outside a kebab shop, causing several witnesses to flee in panic. An eyewitness told the tabloid: “The attacker was completely out of his mind. He ran with the machete behind a police patrol car”. He said a passing BMW managed to run him over and afterwards he “lay prostrate on the ground and didn’t move”. Unconfirmed reports have said the female victim worked at the kebab shop. The motive for the attack is currently unclear. It comes as Germany is on edge following two attacks in the past week.
