(AFP) German police have shot dead a knife-wielding Turkish man who sought to attack officers in the city of Gelsenkirchen.
The man, who lived in Gelsenkirchen, struck a patrol car with an object on Sunday and sought to assail officers standing by the vehicle “with a raised object,” a police spokesman told AFP.
Officers noted that the attacker was holding a knife behind his back, he added.
Despite several warnings from officers, the man refused to stop his assault, leading a 23-year-old policeman to fire a shot that killed him.
