BERLIN: An assailant stabbed a teacher at a German vocational college on Friday, sparking a police manhunt that ended with officers shooting and detaining a 17-year-old Kosovan suspect.
Police were alerted to the knife attack around 9.30 am in the western city of Essen and responded by deploying commandos to search the college.
The victim, a 45-year-old teacher, suffered serious wounds and underwent emergency surgery.
&#8220;We do not yet know what the motive was,&#8221; a police spokesman told AFP.
Officers confronted the suspect less than 3km from the college and &#8220;used firearms&#8221; after he drew a knife, police said.
The youth was also receiving hospital treatment for injuries.
According to the Bild daily, the suspect was a student at the college.
The BIB vocational college in Essen offers training in nutrition and domestic science as well as social and health care, according to its website.
