A pregnant woman is dead and at least two others are injured after a machete-wielding Syrian refugee allegedly attacked passersby on a German street.
The
21-year-old randomly hacked at terrified members of the public with the
12-inch blade in the city of Reutlingen this afternoon, it is reported.
A mum-to-be was killed in the horrific rampage near a kebab shop, while at least two others suffered unspecified injuries, according to local media.
The
bearded refugee, described as 'completely out of his mind', was only
stopped when a brave BMW driver apparently ploughed into him.
He
was arrested by cops as he lay 'motionless' on the pavement. Police have
since said there is 'no indication' he was linked to terrorism.
Photos of the scene show the man lying on his side, with a bloodied
face. Armed cops can be seen standing above him, resting their boots on
his body.
The motive behind the attack on the List Platz remains unclear, according to Germany's Bild and Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspapers.
However, some reports say the suspect attacked the pregnant woman with the machete after an argument developed between them.
