Munich Federal Police Release Images in Hunt for Knife Suspect

A court-approved appeal asks witnesses, including two unidentified helpers, to contact Munich’s Federal Police.

Overview

  • Authorities published surveillance images on September 7 after earlier efforts failed to identify a man suspected in two August 13 incidents.
  • Police say the suspect threatened and spat at two men at Karlsplatz (Stachus) while holding a knife before boarding the S6 toward Pasing.
  • At Pasing around 21:35, he allegedly pushed a 63-year-old down several steps, causing a wrist bruise and scrapes to the knee and elbow.
  • Two travelers intervened and briefly restrained the man, who bit one helper and escaped; he held a knife throughout but did not use it.
  • Investigators warn the suspect could be armed and are pursuing counts of bodily harm, threat, and insult, urging tips to Bundespolizeiinspektion München at 089/51 555 00.
