Violence Erupts in Cologne and Stuttgart: Multiple Stabbings and Arrests

Two separate incidents involving football fans in Germany lead to stabbings, police injuries, and ongoing investigations.

In Cologne, a 32-year-old Polish football fan was stabbed during a clash before Lukas Podolski's farewell match; the suspect, a 17-year-old Moroccan, remains at large.
The altercation in Cologne resulted in nine injured police officers, with two unable to continue duty after being attacked by fans with stones and bottles.
The Cologne police have identified the suspect through prior criminal activity and are actively searching for him, while one accomplice has been arrested.
In Stuttgart, a 25-year-old Syrian man has been charged with attempted murder for attacking Turkish football fans during a public viewing event in June.
The Stuttgart attacks were motivated by ethnic hatred, leading to multiple injuries, but no fatalities; the suspect has been in custody since the incident.
