Stabbing Incident at Essen Vocational School: Suspect Arrested and Teacher's Life Not in Danger

A shocking incident took place on Friday morning at a vocational college in Essen, Germany. A teacher was severely injured in a stabbing incident, and the police have arrested a 17-year-old male student of Kosovar origin in connection with the attack.

According to the latest reports, the suspect allegedly stabbed the teacher multiple times. The suspect, who is a student at the same vocational college, was involved in the incident and was initially in critical condition. He was later taken to the hospital and underwent surgery, as did the 45-year-old woman who was the teacher.

The police used their firearms to stop the suspect, who drew a knife during his arrest. The suspect was eventually apprehended near the main train station. The 17-year-old's current condition is not specified.

Despite the severity of the attack, the 45-year-old teacher's life is not in danger. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and the police have not yet commented on the possible motive. A homicide unit is investigating the case, as is customary in such cases.

The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, and the vocational school centre has been closed for the day. The police are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward and contact them. The investigation is still active, and more information is expected to be released in due course.
