Authorities in Germany are currently in pursuit of a man who severely injured his wife by dousing her with a flammable liquid on a tram and subsequently igniting it. The attack resulted in critical injuries to the 46-year-old woman.
The incident unfolded while she was aboard the tram in Gera, situated in eastern Germany. “She was sprayed with flammable liquid and set alight by a man,” stated the police from the state of Thuringia, who later confirmed that the suspect was indeed the victim’s husband.
In a crucial moment, other passengers activated the emergency stop button, providing a brief opportunity for the perpetrator to escape as the tram doors opened.
The police have announced that their patrols “are actively searching for the perpetrator,” who is currently wanted for attempted murder but has not yet been apprehended. To aid in the investigation, they have released a photograph of the suspected individual, who is 46 years old and of Georgian descent, along with details about the clothing he was wearing at the time of the attack.
As this situation develops, community safety remains a top priority, demonstrating the ongoing commitment of law enforcement to ensure justice and support for victims of such heinous acts.
“We will do everything in our power to bring the perpetrator to justice,” police officials affirmed.
