Police secure the area in the German city of Wurzburg on June 25 during a 'major operation' in which a suspect was arrested after local media had earlier reported multiple stabbings.

The face of the Somali immigrant who killed three people while shouting 'Allahu Akbar' in a knife attack in Germany on Friday has been revealed in a never-before-seen photograph.

The suspect, identified as a 24-year-old Somali immigrant, was shot in the leg by police and arrested after the Friday afternoon attack in Wurzburg, Germany.

Now, an image has emerged of the attacker's arrest, with the man lying on the ground with his cheek pressed on the pavement as he is pinned down by a police officer.

A police officer can be seen kneeling on the suspect's back as he makes the arrest, while the suspect is seen with his eyes closed after being shot in the leg.

Police said his life was not in danger after they shot him and he was being questioned in hospital.

The knifeman killed at least three people and wounded at least five others in the street rampage at Barbarossaplatz in Wurzburg's downtown area, according to local media reports.

Police had sealed off parts of the city centre (pictured) for a 'major operation' on Friday afternoon and asked residents to stay away.

It later emerged that he had been placed under compulsory psychiatric treatment just days before the attack.

The man, whose name was not released by police, had lived in the German city of Wuerzburg since 2015, the same year that Germany opened its borders to more than a million migrants and refugees fleeing war and poverty.

The suspect had most recently lived in a shelter for the homeless in the city and apparently did not know the victims.

Bavaria's top security official, Joachim Herrmann, said the suspect had been known to police and had been admitted to a psychiatric unit just a few days earlier.

'His condition had been noticed in recent months, including violent tendencies, and a few days ago he was put into compulsory psychiatric treatment,' Herrmann said.

On Saturday, investigators were looking for a motive behind the attack in the German city of Wuerzburg, which saw three people killed and five others wounded.

Herrmann told news agency DPA on Friday that he couldn't rule out an Islamic extremist motive because one witness had reported hearing the suspect shout 'Allahu akbar,' Arabic for 'God is great'.

'That suggests a possible Islamist motive, and that is also part of the investigation,' he added.

Among the three dead in the knife attack was a young boy and one of his parents, according to Main Post newspaper.


People were seen leaving bouquets of flowers at a makeshift memorial which had been set up on Saturday at the scene in tribute to the victims of the deadly attack.

Police officers were seen at the scene of the attack this morning as people placed flowers, candles and other items in memory of those killed in the horrific rampage.

As investigators continue to try and pinpoint the suspect's motive, police said there was no indication that there were any other attackers, and that the situation was now under control.

Videos posted on social media showed pedestrians surrounding the attacker and holding him at bay with chairs and sticks at Barbarossaplatz in Wurzburg on Friday.

The videos matched the reported location of the attack, though it was not immediately possible to confirm when they had been made.

Another video showed one man, armed with a bag, attempting to scare off the knifeman by shouting at him before he disappeared off screen.

A woman who said she had witnessed the incident told German RTL television that the police then stepped in.

Julia Runze said: 'He had a really big knife with him and was attacking people. Then many people tried to throw chairs or umbrellas or cellphones at him and stop him.

The police then approached him and I think a shot was fired, you could hear that clearly.'

'The attacker was overpowered after police used a firearm,' Lower Franconia police said on Twitter. 'There are no indications of a second suspect. There is NO danger to the population.'

Bavaria's top security official Joachim Herrmann confirmed five people are in a serious condition and it is 'not certain' if they will live following the attack.

A witness reported that the knifeman shouted 'Allahu Akbar' before the attack, he added.

However, a police spokesperson said none of the suspect's previous offences were linked to terrorism.

Police spokeswoman Kerstin Kunick said officers were alerted at around 5pm to a knife attack in Barbarossa Square in the centre of the city.

Bavaria's governor Markus Soeder expressed shock at the news of the attack. 'We grieve with the victims and their families,' he wrote on Twitter.

Police said on Twitter that there was no danger to the population.

Bavaria's top security official Joachim Herrmann was on his way to Wurzburg, a city of about 130,000 people located between Munich and Frankfurt.

Local media earlier reported multiple stabbings in Wurzburg, a city of some 130,000 people south-east of Frankfurt.

Terrorists

If you kneel on this one's neck till he can't breathe, I will even give you double promotion

Germany liberal laws will be its undoing.
Sweden is currently witnessing several crises for making the same mistake.

A man who is supposed to be held in psychiatric ward was allowed to roam
freely because of liberalism and now people are dead.

treatment just days before the
