Five people taking part in a rally organised by Pax Europa, a campaign group against radical Islam, were wounded in the attack.

The policeman was “stabbed several times in the area of the head” while trying to intervene, local police said in a statement.

Immediately following the attack, he underwent “emergency surgery and was put in an artificial coma”, but “died of his injuries” on Sunday, police said.

    He was actually convicted of multiple crimes including:

    He was sentenced to a four months conditional prison sentence and 960 euros in 2015 for saying that all Muslims are potential terrorists at a Pegida rally

    So maybe someone wanted to show him what the world would be like if the bullshit he spews were true.

      Are you really defending the actions of this attacker? He killed a LEO…this is really fucked up if you’re saying it’s ok to attack people violently for their speech, no matter what that speech is.

          Doesn’t matter, this dude was out for blood from non-believers. Everyone seems to wonder why the right wing nationalist are getting stronger daily. This is why. Islam and civilized society don’t seem to be mixing well.

          You shouldn’t need to, the attacker was an Islamic extremist, attacking an anti-islam nationalist.
