| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] A woman and three men were injured in an attack by a knife-wielding assailant in northwestern Germany. This was reported on October 19 by the Peiner Allgemeine Zeitung (PAZ) newspaper. The incident occurred on the evening of October 19 in the town of Fahlstedt in the federal state of Lower Saxony. It is specified that a woman aged 78 and three men aged 18, 66 and 73 were injured. All four received serious injuries of varying severity and required urgent hospitalization. Several ambulances and a rescue helicopter arrived at the scene. The police officers who arrived at the scene detained the suspect, a 32-year-old man, who offered no resistance. He was taken to the police station. The man's motives for the act remain unknown; he had not previously come to the attention of law enforcement agencies and has no criminal record. Earlier, Regnum reported that in Germany at the end of August, a high-profile attack by a Syrian citizen armed with a knife on people during a festival in Solingen took place. As a result of the attack, three people were killed and eight were injured. The incident sparked serious debates in society on the topic of migration and the tightening of migration policy.
"They knew each other, but it was not an act of relationship," says a family member of one of the victims. The 32-year-old was questioned at the Peiner police station. Jansen says: "After initial interrogations, there are indications that the suspect could have a mental illness.
According to the police spokesman, the 32-year-old "was not conspicuous before and had no criminal record". Local mayor Hans-Jürgen Mintel did not know the alleged perpetrator either. Therefore, he could not say whether the 32-year-old, who is said to have committed the crime, has psychological problems. He only knows that the alleged perpetrator lived very withdrawn. "I once had a beer with one of the victims," he then pushes. | ||

| #5 Transliteration is always tricky, and also depends on the intricacies of the accent being translated from and the level of fine discrimination of the ear of the transcriber. Which explains why it used to be spelt Peking and is now spelt Beijing, among an infinite number of examples. |

| #4 In German a V is pronounced as an F. In some words the pronunciation is F in others it is V. The Russian article transliterated it as an Ф/F and Google's re-transliteration was responsible for the mix-up. |

| #1 The name of the town is indeed Vallstedt. The attacker is a German Muslim convert. The are indications of a religious motive. He testified that he was "guided" to commit his attack. His social media profile "contains references to the Coran." Link to article in German. |
