There is no perceived threat to public safety, a police spokesperson assured.\Rescue and security personnel were observed near the crime scene in Aschaffenburg. Police and ambulances were photographed near the location in Schöntal Park, Aschaffenburg. Investigators initially reported that two individuals had been provisionally arrested. Subsequently, they clarified that the second person was a witness who was being questioned. A significant area encompassing Schöntal Park was cordoned off, police stated, and rail traffic in the vicinity was temporarily suspended. According to the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the suspect is believed to have attempted to escape by running across nearby railway tracks. \In November, police designated certain sections of the city center park as 'dangerous places' due to an increase in 'drug-related crimes,' which purportedly included robbery and assault.
