Nutcase Attack?

 I bring this story because it's generally every week now in the German news....that you have guy (usually not a woman) who goes nuts and attacks folks.  Drug use?  Paranoid schizophrenia?  Anyone's guess.

Down toward Bensheim (south of Frankfurt), there's this area which is connected up with bicycle 'roads'.

Yesterday....according to the Police....some guy comes up near a path/bridge area.  Two bicyclists were 'selected' by this nutcase guy, and attacked (with a knife).  One was seriously injured.....the other less so.

Guy runs off into the woods, but the cops track him down later and arrest him.  32 years old....local German guy. 

On some drug, or just plain crazy?  Police don't say.

That's the thing about it....you just can't put yourself in a general safe feeling....even if you were out in the middle of nowhere on a bike.  Some drugged-up nutcase might be standing there with some aggravation on his mind.

Update: Well....the police say the guy has a record (assault, robberies, etc).  They also say when they approached him.....he seemed awful confused (sounding like he was drugged-up.  Drug-testing the guy?  Doesn't look that way.
