BERLIN (AP) – The attackers poured liquid on a tram in eastern Germany on Sunday and got out, police said. The woman was taken to a hospital as the attacker fled, at a life-threatening moment.
The German news agency DPA reported that police said no one else was injured in the incident in the eastern city of Gera. Passengers stopped the tram by pressing the emergency button, and the attacker took the opportunity to escape.
The tram driver immediately began to put out the flames and the 46-year-old woman was taken to the hospital by a helicopter.
Police are looking for the attacker. It is not clear what prompted the attack or what exactly liquid is.
