A man armed with a knife attacked people on a bus in the northern city of Luebeck on Friday, injuring 10 including one seriously before he was arrested, police said, adding there was no indication he was radicalized or had a terrorist motive, Reuters reports.

“The identity of the perpetrator has been clarified: a 34-year-old German citizen resident in Luebeck,” police added on Twitter. “There are currently no indications the man was political radicalized and no signs of a terrorist background.”
