Many injured in Munich knife attack, suspect on the run

In what could be another lone wolf attack in Europe, German police today said that a man with a knife lightly wounded four people in Munich. The suspect was on the run after the attack. Police officers are looking for the assailant.

Munich police called on people in the Rosenheimer Platz area, located close to the German city's downtown, to stay inside after the incident this morning.

The perpetrator fled the scene. Police said he appeared to be about 40-years-old and had a black bicycle, gray trousers, a green jacket and a backpack.

The police department said on Twitter that officers are looking for the assailant "with all available police forces."

It said the motive for the attack was not immediately clear. None of the injuries were considered life-threatening.
