A U.S. citizen was seriously injured in a stabbing incident on a Dresden tram shortly after midnight. The attack took place when the victim intervened to stop two men from harassing female passengers, according to German police.

The incident occurred around 00:25 local time near the Goldener Reiter stop on tram line 7, as reported by the German daily Bild. Police apprehended a 21-year-old Syrian man less than half a mile away from the scene and were searching for a second suspect and the missing weapon.

Photos inside the tram show bloodstains on the floor and passengers trying to stem bleeding with tissues. The wounded American was taken to a hospital by ambulance.

Newsweek has reached out to both the Dresden Police Department and the U.S. State Department for comment.
