BERLIN: A 29-year-old Albanian man carrying a machete attacked a German police station on Friday, with investigators probing a possible “radical Islamist motive”.
The attacker entered the station in the western town of Linz am Rhein at 2:40 am local time (0040 GMT), Koblenz prosecutors said in a statement.
The man shouted “Allahu Akbar” and said he wanted to “kill police officers”, prosecutors said.
Officers on site locked the entrance door and a door leading to the inner courtyard of the police station, leaving the man trapped.
Special forces were alerted to the situation and neutralised the attacker using a taser. Initial enquiries revealed “evidence of a Islamist motive”, prosecutors said.
