Teenage ‘Nazi’ knifeman livestreams mosque rampage as 5 injured

A teenage ‘Nazi’ knifeman livestreamed a bloody rampage outside a mosque in Turkey. 

At least five people have been injured after an attacker wearing a skeletal mask, helmet, and a ‘bulletproof vest’ slashed multiple people in the city of Eskisehir yesterday. 

The 18-year-old suspect, armed with a long knife, broadcast the attack at the tea garden of the Tepebaşı mosque on X.

The suspected attacker did not say a word during the more than two minute graphic clip.

Only heavy breathing can be heard in the footage in which the suspect runs through a park, train station, and along the streets randomly slashing at people.

He was tackled to the ground by police and was seen on his back with officers standing over him, reported the New York Post. 

‘The attacker was dressed like a person in a game, with an axe at his waist, wearing a bulletproof vest and a helmet, his face masked,’ the site Eskisehir Durum reported.

Images he had taken of himself show that he also wore goggles over his mask, completely concealing his face.

Several news sites claimed he also wore a ‘black sun’, a Nazi symbol made up of several swastikas, on his chest.

The assailant did not shout or express any motivation for his actions according to the daily Cumhuriyet, which claimed he was ‘influenced by war games’.
