Berlin: One man was killed and another injured in a stabbing in the western German city of Wuppertal on Friday police said, adding that the attacker was still on the loose.
"We can confirm there has been a deadly crime. One man has died and another man is in hospital," a police spokeswoman said.
The police said they were hunting for one or more assailants, but could not immediately provide more information about the circumstances of the attack.
The stabbing happened at around 1245 GMT in the city's Elberfeld area.
