A woman sustained life-threatening injuries after an attacker doused her with liquid and set her on fire while she was riding a tram in the eastern German city of Gera on Sunday. The suspect fled the scene, prompting a police search.


Passengers on the tram activated the emergency stop, allowing the assailant to escape as the doors opened. The tram driver acted quickly, using a fire extinguisher to put out the flames before emergency responders arrived. The 46-year-old victim was airlifted to a hospital for treatment.


Authorities confirmed that no other passengers were injured during the attack. Police later announced they were searching for the victim’s husband, also 46, as a potential suspect and urged the public to report any sightings.


The motive behind the attack remains unclear, and investigators have not yet identified the type of liquid used. The search for the suspect is ongoing.
