    Axe-Attack at Düsseldorf Main Train Station
    Person running amok allegedly 36 year old from Wuppertal

    Düsseldorf. A man armed with an axe has injured seven people at the Düsseldorf main train station on thursday evening. According to information that our editorial staff have a 13 year old girl is among the injured. The alleged attacker was arrested. By Arne Lieb, Stefani Geilhausen, Klas Libuda, H. Pawlitzki

    According to police, it is a 36 year old man from former Yugoslavia, living in Wuppertal. He is said to suffer from mental illness. The man attacked passengers with an axe at Düsseldorf train station around 8.50 PM. Seven were injured, three of them gravely. One of the injured suffered a skull fracture.

    Police and Firefighters were out in force, special forces (SEK) were at the scene, too. The main train station was cordoned off. Police calls the act a rampage. There are no clues yet to a terroristic background.

    The alleged attacker was arrested shortly after the attack in the close vicinity of the train station. He had fled over the tracks out of the train station and jumped from a railway bridge into the underpass Ellerstraße. In doing so, he was wounded gravely and is currently receiving treatment under police supervision.

    Initially, the officers could not rule out that there could be another perpetrator. A police helicopter circled over Düsseldorf. But there hadn’t been concrete clues to a second perpetrator at any time. Police held several suspicious persons at the train station in temporary custody to screen them. “At the moment, there does not appear to be a second perpetrator”, police speaker Markus Niesczery said in the late evening.

    Mayor Thomas Geisel arrived at the train station to get an overview of the situation and to thank the rescue forces. Police president Norbert Wesseler too arrived at the train station late in the evening. The train station remained closed until approximately 0.30 (CET). Then all tracks, except 13 and 14, were opened again. The forensics had not yet finished there. A cleaning squad came to clean the train station from the visible traces of the attack.

    Eye witness tells of the consequences of the attack

    A young woman, who entered a commuting train to Mettmann, reported of a 13 year old girl injured by the axe. The witness described the gaping wound on her upper arm as if someone had chopped with an axe into a tree. “I attended her wound and called her parents”, the woman reports. Luckily, there was a doctor’s kit on the train with which the victim could be provided medical help.

    A man in his late 20s was dragged into the train by his friend, apparently unconscious, the witness continues. He was injured in the head, but became responsive again later. Immediately, several passengers looked after the man on the train. The train had stopped, everywhere were special force policemen.

    The conductor had closed the train doors, the witness reports. Some passengers demanded to leave the train. But as the doors could not be opened individually, everyone had to stay on board the train. Only when Federal Police came, the conductor opened the doors. He said: “You are now safe, the police is standing on the track”. The passengers were not able to leave the train station immediately. They were interrogated by police as witnesses.

    Another witness describes the attacker

    Tobias Schneeberger (30) from Ratingen was an eye witness too. He says, around 8.50 PM he and his girlfriend and their four children (nine months, two, five, and seven years) were waiting at platform 10 for the S6 to Cologne. Vis a vis at track 13 the S28 to Mettmann arrived. As Schneebergers observed, the perpetrator exited the train and ran up and down the platofrm with an axe.

    He describes the man as between 30 and 40 years old, his appearance reminding of a drug addict. People ran away screaming, bags were flying over the place. The trains sounded their horns without stopping, “to jar the attacker”. The attacker then ran from platform 13 to platform 10. “I concluded this from the movement of the screaming people”, so Schneeberger. He pushed his girlfriend and his children into the elevator at which they were standing. “I placed myself in front of the children, so that they could not see the man”. The elevator took them downstairs and they left the train station.

    • “He is said to suffer from mental illness…”

      In other words, his name is “Mohammad”.

      Please consider how that “axe” may just as well translate to, “machete”.

      Go ahead and call this the, “New Normal”. Then go see just how violent and merciless Europeans get when they are expected to treat Muslim terrorists as “Normal”, everyday sorts of routine “citizens” that continually assault, rape, and murder regular European people. Who’s fooling whom?

      The ugliness has barely yet to begin. You read it here first.

    While the mainstream media remain extremely cloaked in yesterday’s attack in Düsseldorf and only very hesitantly disclose information , Info-DIRECT still managed to make contact with the young Austrian, who had been at the Düsseldorf station during the attack Done directly with experienced.

    Interestingly, his descriptions contradict the media and police reports in numerous points. As in the case of similar incidents in the past, the police still announced at night that the perpetrator was a person with mental problems and a terrorist background was to be excluded.

    This approach of the police is very reminiscent of the ax terrorist attack of Würzburg and the “Amokfahrt in Graz”. Even in these acts, any Islamic and terrorist background was denied.

    It is also noteworthy that our witness reported on Africans who attacked youths with “machetes and axes”, but the police announced that they had arrested a man from the former Yugoslavia, who lives in the Wuppertal, with an ax indiscriminately And injured seven persons.

    Here the exclusive witness report of the young Austrian directly from the terrorist attack in Düsseldorf:

    “After 3 nice days with my girlfriend in Düsseldorf, I wanted on my last night at 20:54 to take the “NightJet” of the ÖBB from Düsseldorf central station to Linz central station. At about 20:40 I said good-bye to my girlfriend and got into the train on track 19. My girlfriend went to the DM to buy something to drink and then went to her train on track 7. She entered her train @ 20: 50. I sat in my train car and stowed away my luggage when suddenly a conductor stopped at the window and looked out of the window in shock. I asked what was happening when I noticed that all the people in panic left the platform. Suddenly it was dead silent and then the announcement: “Do not leave your wagons, everyone else has to clear the station immediately.” The conductor then turns to me and says that there were just two Africans running across the tracks. My girlfriend wrote to me at the same time and I tried to find out what was going on.

    Through Google I learned about an injured person and an “amok rampage” … but I saw at the same moment as they carried three people with carriers from the tracks. Shortly thereafter, the SEK(elite police units) stormed all the tracks with a heavy gear and shined flashlights in all wagons.

    My girlfriend wrote to me that she had just been told by an eyewitness that he saw three Africans with machetes and axes striking children and youths. Two were injured on the neck and one on the head. On the lower level there were more injured, some severely. She was under shock but was not taken care of or anything. Witnesses were simply left behind and false information came out in the media.

    At this time, we were held on the train and protected by the SEK. After an hour we were then evacuated and put outside in the cold, without information and until 1 in the morning- children and old people had to stand in the cold. I saw from the distance the blood on the floor of the hall below. There was total terror, and SEK forces were running around. You could overhear the commands from radio equipment. Suddenly the info came that one of the perpetrators fell from a bridge and was caught. I also heard that a second perpetrator had also already been caught. Nevertheless, uncertainty remained. At about 01:00 we were allowed back to the station. ”
