A Syrian refugee wielding a machete has killed a woman and injured two other people in the southern city Reutlingen, police say.
The 21-year-old man has been arrested and was apparently acting alone, they added.Police have also told Sky News there is no evidence pointing to the incident being a terrorist attack.
Spokesman Bjoern Reusch said in a statement that witnesses said the man, who was known to police, was having an argument with the woman before attacking her about 4.30pm local time.
Police say the motive behind the attack is still not clear.
The attack comes as Germany is on edge, following a shooting rampage at a Munich shopping centre on Friday night in which nine people were killed, and an axe attack on a train a week ago that left five wounded.
