American man in German custody for killing, assaulting U.S. tourists
German police have arrested an American male tourist for killing a woman and assaulting another near one of Germany's most popular tourist attractions, authorities said Thursday.
"There, he physically attacked the 21-year-old woman. When the 22-year-old wanted to intervene, he choked her and then pushed her down a steep slope," German police said in a press release. A mountain rescue service brought the injured but responsive 22-year-old to a hospital, and a helicopter carried the severely injured 21-year-old to a different hospital. She died there overnight, while her friend remains hospitalized.
Abneri told The Associated Press the man appeared to have scratches on his face. He and his friends also saw the specially trained rescuers reach the victims, a steep terrain rescue he said seemed"very, very difficult."
