American woman faces prison time in Europe for fatally stabbing migrant man who allegedly assaulted her

A 20-year-old American woman has been accused of fatally stabbing a migrant man in Germany, who she said sexually assaulted her at a train station, leading to the stabbing. 

The incident took place at the Kaiserslautern Central Station in southwest Germany on June 29, the Kaiserslautern Public Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement last week.  

“According to the results of the investigations, the stabbing was preceded by the fact that the 64-year-old sexually harassed the 20-year-old by grabbing her buttocks, an exchange of words, and that the 20-year-old opened a folding knife she was carrying with her, so that she made stabbing movements in the direction of the 64-year-old,” the prosecutor’s office said.

“The 64-year-old then grabbed the 20-year-old’s arm, which she was using to wield the knife. The 20-year-old freed herself from this grip and stabbed once in the same movement,” the statement continued, adding that the man died “within a few seconds.”

The American woman said she acted in self-defense and did not aim for the man’s heart, and she was charged with bodily injury resulting in death.

“The accusation of bodily injury resulting in death requires intent only with regard to the bodily injury and (only) negligence with regard to the consequence of death,” the prosecutor’s office said. 

The prosecutor’s office has not identified either person in the incident.
