German AfD Politician Stabbed in New Knife Attack

A 25-year-old suspect has been arrested in connection with a stabbing incident that occurred on Tuesday evening in Mannheim, Germany. The victim, identified as Heinrich Koch, is a local election candidate for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and was left with cuts following the attack. According to police, Koch was taken to hospital for treatment but did not suffer life-threatening injuries. Interestingly, the suspect showed no signs of knowing that the victim was an AfD politician at the time of the arrest. The incident has raised concerns about potential tensions in Germany ahead of local and EU elections this week.
