Video emerges of Somali man shot by German police

Videos on social media showed the man armed with a large knife being confronted and subdued by passers-by.

The suspect, a Somali man aged 24, was shot in the thigh before being arrested.

Police said he had been violent and mentally unstable and had recently received psychiatric treatment

Police were alerted to the attack at around 17:00 local time (15:00 GMT), in the city centre’s Barbarossa Square.

Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann told reporters that, of those who were injured, five were in serious condition and it was “not certain” if they would survive.

Last week, a Somali man suspected of killing a 52-year-old has been arrested in Germany.

The body of a man was found dead in Regen, Munich, on Monday, according to media reports.

Two hours after the death of the man, a 21-year-old Somali man was arrested, who was said to be living with the 52-year-old man.

When the young Somali was arrested, police investigated and found that he had committed previous crimes, including property damage and bodily injuries.

Police say they are still investigating the Somali man, and are looking for full evidence in the case.

It was only recently when an incident in Würzburg shocked residents after a Somali man killed three people and injured several others.

Many Somalis in Germany have raised their concerns about the incidents being attributed to the community for fear of being harassed by Neo-Nazi groups who oppose Germany’s immigration policies.
