At around 5:10 p.m., the nightmare began when the attacker set fire to a residential building on Altenessener Strasse and Pielsticker Strasse. From there, he continued his arson spree, igniting another fire in a house on Zollvereinstrasse. As the flames roared, residents frantically tried to save their loved ones, with heart-wrenching images capturing parents handing their children to rescuers from a gutter.
In total, 29 people were injured in the fires, according to police, though the fire department reported 31. The blaze left many victims in agony, and two children are now fighting for their lives.
But the attacker’s reign of terror didn’t stop there. He returned to his van and headed to Katernberger Strasse, where he rammed the vehicle into the storefront of a greengrocer’s shop—twice. He then got out of the van, brandishing a machete, and began threatening passers-by, who desperately tried to keep him at bay by throwing objects at him.
