Police Probe Knife Threats in Southern Germany as Neuburg Suspect Remanded

Witness appeals highlight unresolved cases in Nürnberg alongside a fresh investigation in Stuttgart.

Overview

  • In Neuburg, officers arrested a 29-year-old after a street robbery; a judge upheld an Ingolstadt prosecutor’s warrant and ordered pretrial detention.
  • During the hospital interview of the 34-year-old victim in Neuburg, the initially reported knife threat could not be confirmed, and forensic work continues.
  • In Nürnberg on Nov. 15, a man swung a large knife toward a 29-year-old’s neck before fleeing; the homicide squad leads the case and seeks tips, including about a black Opel seen escaping.
  • Separately in Nürnberg overnight to Nov. 17, a heavily intoxicated 55-year-old reported an attempted robbery involving a displayed knife, and detectives are asking passersby who heard his warnings to come forward.
  • Bundespolizei opened an inquiry after a Nov. 20 confrontation at Stuttgart‑Schwabstraße in which an unknown man allegedly threatened two travelers with a knife, with three nearby youths considered key witnesses.
