Police are still searching for the attacker, the affiliate reported. Witnesses said they saw police swarming the area.

Michael Eisenriegler, who lives next to where the stabbing happened, told CNN he saw flashing lights and went downstairs.

“There were maybe … one or two dozen policemen (at the site of the attack.) And they are still there,” he said.

“(The road) is blocked. They are searching,” Eisenriegler said.
