Ukrainian teen assaults teacher and wounds 11-year-old with kitchen knife at Albstadt school

Around 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, a 15-year-old Ukrainian who previously attended the Hohenbergschule in Albstadt-Ebingen entered the school and assaulted a teacher with his fists. Fellow teachers intervened and removed him from the teacher’s vicinity. After exiting the premises, the teen stabbed an 11-year-old student with a kitchen knife, inflicting light injuries; the boy was transported to a hospital and faces no life-threatening risk.

The teacher escaped injury. Staff kept the suspect in a separate room until police arrived, who then took him into custody and confiscated the knife. The motive remains unknown, and investigations are being handled by the Staatsanwaltschaft Hechingen and the local police post. The school suspended classes, provided on-site care for students, and arranged psychological support for those affected.
