In Stuttgart-Feuerbach on Thursday evening, 6 November 2026, a 30-year-old man was in a snack bar on Wilhelm-Geiger-Platz attacked by three men and injured with a knife. According to the Public Prosecutor’s Office and Stuttgart Police Headquarters, the men pursued the 30-year-old into the premises at around 6.50 pm, assaulted him there and stabbed him with a knife. Emergency services treated the injured man at the scene and took him to hospital for inpatient treatment. According to the authorities, there was initially no indication that his life was in danger.
Investigators said the suspects and the victim already knew each other before the incident. The public prosecutor’s office and police initially gave no reliable information about possible motives. Police launched a search immediately after the incident. The criminal police is currently reviewing any available video footage and is asking witnesses who saw the attack or pursuit, or who have footage, to come forward.
The authorities based their initial statements on preliminary investigations and accounts from the scene. National media outlets such as Tagesschau and n-tv reported on the case on 7 November 2026, citing Stuttgart Police Headquarters. Investigators’ statements gave no specific details about the suspects, such as their age or nationality. The authorities also gave no information on Friday about arrests or remand measures.
In cases of this kind, investigations are generally led by the public prosecutor’s office and the criminal police. According to investigators, which specific offences apply in this case will depend on further clarification of the course of events and the medical findings. Police and prosecutors did not go beyond the known facts in their assessment; no connection with other offences in Stuttgart has currently been established.
Investigators are asking anyone who saw anything in the Wilhelm-Geiger-Platz area on Thursday evening, or who has video or photographs, to contact the criminal police in Stuttgart. The relevant departments point out that even apparently minor details about what happened before and inside the snack bar could help solve the case.
