Ulm MediaMarkt Stabbing Injures Three, Suspect Had Unexecuted Deportation Order

Investigators are reviewing the suspect's expulsion status, including a halted deportation.

Overview

  • Police say a knife attack at the MediaMarkt on Blaubeurer Straße in Ulm on Wednesday injured three employees.
  • One victim, a 25-year-old man, remains in life-threatening condition, while a 36-year-old woman was treated as an outpatient and a 22-year-old man has left the clinic.
  • The suspect is described as a 29-year-old Eritrean who has been obliged to leave Germany for about two years but was not deported.
  • Local reporting indicates the deportation may have faltered over missing travel documents, a detail that has been reported but not officially confirmed.
  • The store stayed closed the day after the attack, with MediaMarkt expressing shock and support for staff as investigators continue their inquiries.
