Germany - Rabbi stabbed on street in Frankfurt bank quarter

Zalman Gurevitch, a 42-year-old rabbi was stabbed in an attack near Germany's financial district in Frankfurt, police said on Saturday.
The police said the rabbi, who managed to get to a nearby hospital after the attack, had been approached on a street in Frankfurt's upscale Westend quarter on Friday by a man he believed was speaking Arabic.
When the rabbi stopped to ask the man what he wanted, the assailant pulled out a pocket knife, uttered a death threat in German and stabbed him in the abdomen. The assailant and two women with him then fled.
