Germany was shocked by a knife attack a week ago that left three people dead and eight injured in the western city of Solingen. The suspect, a 26-year-old Syrian man who had previously been deported to Bulgaria, was identified as a suspect, sparking a debate about Germany's immigration and asylum policies. On 27 August, police also shot dead a man suspected of attacking passersby with a knife in the town of Moers near Solingen.

The attacks prompted Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government to announce new restrictions on carrying knives at public gatherings and long-distance transport, as well as curbs on welfare benefits for some illegal migrants.
