Multiple people have been injured in a stabbing during a YouTube livestream.
The attack was captured live this morning, Friday, May 31 in Mannheim, Germany, with the knifeman seen dragging one man to the ground as he hit out with his blade. It is believed that the attack happened during a small gathering for the BPE political group, which holds far-right views.
Bystanders rushed to the aid of the man after he was once again set upon by the attacker. Harrowing footage showed the knifeman lunge toward the victim before tackling him to the ground and thrusting his knife in the direction of the man's head.
More onlookers rushed to help the victim and were seen grappling and pulling the attacker, who remained on the floor, away from the man. Footage showed the victim suffered at least one knife wound to the back of his left leg with blood seen splattered across the cobbled ground.
The knifeman managed to break free and attacked one of the men who tussled with him just moments before. He then could be seen stabbing a cop in the back. At this point approaching police officers are seen discharging their weapons and the attacker soon falls to the floor.
Cops then gave emergency assistance to the knifeman as others surrounded the victims and checked them for injuries. An injured officer was seen holding his blood-stained head as he walked away from the scene.
Police continued to treat the attacker who was seen lying motionless on the ground, but his condition has not been confirmed.
