Bad Kreuznach: Nine injured in liquid attack on AfD stand
Nine people were injured on Wednesday afternoon during a liquid attack on an AfD (Alternative for Germany) information stand in Bad Kreuznach, Rhineland-Palatinate. According to police investigations, an unknown liquid was poured from an adjacent building toward the party's stand.
The victims suffered light skin irritations. Two individuals were taken to a hospital for precautionary examinations but were able to leave shortly after. Among those affected were several AfD politicians, including federal and state parliament members Nicole Höchst, Sebastian Münzenmaier, Damian Lohr, and Jürgen Klein.
AfD politician Nicole Höchst claimed on social media that concentrated chlorophenol was poured from a laboratory window, though police have not officially confirmed the substance. Authorities have identified a suspect and are continuing to investigate the motive and the exact nature of the liquid used.
