Knife attack in Magdeburg, Germany with 3-5 injured. Suspect is at large but police have issued this description:
"The alleged stabber it should be a man between 25 and 35 years, who spoke German. He should be 1.75 to 1.85 meters tall. According to police, he is wearing blue jeans, a gray jacket and a black baseball cap."
It seems some key aspects of a suspect's description have been omitted.
ETA: A local reporter is saying only one person was stabbed, non life threatening injuries, in connection with a robbery. Hopefully this turns out to be "normal" street crime.

Never let a good stabbing go to waste. Even if this is just street crime, ISIS, or sympathizers, are taking advantage and posting propaganda videos and threats on Twitter while using #Magdeburg #GermanyAttack.
Not too much out there yet.
This site looks pretty sketchy, but...
how do 5 people end up getting stabbed if it was a single cellphone robbery attempt? Apparently people on Twitter aren’t buying it.
A 64-year-old woman reportedly suffered cuts to the face. Here’s a rough translation of HLN’s coverage via Google:
The suspect first attempted to steal the mobile phone of a young person. Then he hit a 63-year-old man in the face after he tried in vain to pull him off his bike. Then he grabbed two women and pushed them to the ground. The motive of the perpetrator is not yet known.
