Syrian refugee kills 1 with machete in Germany, arrested

A 21-year-old Syrian refugee killed a woman with a machete and injured two other people on Sunday before being arrested in the southern German city of Reutlingen, a police spokesman said.

The man “had a dispute” with the woman, according to a police statement.

The asylum-seeking Syrian man had been involved in previous incidents causing injuries to other people, police said.

The assailant was apparently acting alone.

“There is no danger to anyone else at this time,” police told Reuters.

The attack comes as Germany is on edge, following a rampage at a Munich mall on Friday night in which nine people were killed, and an axe attack on a train a week ago that left five people wounded.
