13-Year-Old Attacks Fellow Student with Knife at Bus Stop in Germany

The attack, which left a 14-year-old with head injuries, was reportedly premeditated and announced online by the suspect.

The incident occurred on January 7, 2025, at a bus stop in Schnelldorf, Bavaria, where a 13-year-old stabbed a 14-year-old in the back of the head.
The victim sustained multiple stab wounds but was treated at a hospital and discharged the same day without life-threatening injuries.
Authorities revealed that the attack was premeditated, with the suspect announcing his intentions twice via an instant messaging service, including just minutes before the incident.
The 13-year-old suspect, who is below the age of criminal responsibility, contacted the police himself after the attack and has since been placed in a clinic for evaluation.
A separate incident involving a 14-year-old inspired by the attack was thwarted when a school official discovered a knife in the student's bag; he was also sent to a clinic for psychological assessment.
