The blind attack with a knife on Ermou street, during rush hour, is shocking the country.

A 32-year-old man attacked a young girl with a knife out of nowhere in the busiest street of the capital, seriously injuring her.

As it turns out, he didn’t even know her.

Terror prevailed in the most central commercial street of Athens as the man seen in the video raising his hands at the sight of the men of the DI.AS team, has just stabbed a young woman without any reason.

“He had a knife, but not a normal knife, it was like a sword and he stuck it here in her ribs from behind,” says a citizen who was at the scene.

The perpetrator, originally from Iran, attacked the 22-year-old woman with a knife at the junction of Ermou and Fokionos, wounding her in the ribs.

A policeman who rushed to the scene handcuffed him.

He was taken under a shed, while the knife was removed from him and his belongings were searched.

Shocked shopkeepers locked themselves in their shops.

The perpetrator allegedly told the police that the girl… was a spy for the Germans and was watching him!

The young woman with chest injuries and broken ribs was taken by ambulance to “Evangelismos” hospital where she underwent surgery.
