Police in the German city of Bremerhaven have arrested a 67-year-old man who allegedly threatened to commit serious crimes at a Christmas market in a TikTok video.
This is reported by Spiegel, according to “European Truth”.
After the video went viral, its creator was “very quickly” identified on Sunday evening and temporarily arrested in one of the city's districts, according to police.
There is no danger to the public.
The man announced that he would stab anyone who looked “Arab or Southern”.
“Anyone. I'll bring enough knives with me,” he said in the video. He didn't look like he was joking.
According to police, the man from Bremerhaven had not previously been seen making similar statements. The police have not yet provided any information about the possible motive for the incident.
The Christmas market in Bremerhaven is mainly located in the pedestrian zone. The market is open until December 30.
After the attack in Magdeburg, where a gunman drove into Christmas market visitors, killing five people and injuring more than 200, Christmas markets have been the focus of security attention.
