An American tourer was brutally stabbed patch trying to bring through 2 women face of the earth assaulted on a tram in Germany. John Rudat, 21, was left with shocking face injuries during the attack. He was traveling in the city of Dresden early Sunday, August 25, when he saw a pair of men violently attacking the women.
Rudat was attacked while trying to protect the women. He was later hospitalized with knife wounds to his face.
Rudat is a part-time model from upstate New York, and also a newly qualified paramedic, the New York Post reported. “We got a little scared when we found out,” Molly, his brother’s girlfriend and a fellow first responder, told the outlet. “We didn’t know the extent of his injuries. We were at dinner the other day and he called saying, ‘Hey, I’ve been in an incident, I’m OK, just if you can notify my parents because they weren’t answering the phone.”
Rudat was staying in Dresden with his former foreign exchange host family when the incident involving a well-known local thug and drug dealer took place. One of the suspected attackers, a 21-year-old Syrian national, was arrested on suspicion of assaulting Rudat before the other man, his accomplice, stabbed the model. According to German outlet Bild, prosecutors later released him as there was no evidence he carried out the stabbing.
“According to the on-call public prosecutor’s assessment, there were insufficient grounds for detention. The knife attack cannot be attributed to him,” Senior Public Prosecutor Jurgen Schmidt told the outlet.
Rudat’s brother, Logan, told the New York Post that his sibling’s bravery did not come as a surprise to him. “I would have been surprised if he hadn’t stepped in,” the 22-year-old, also first responder, said. “It’s part of his character. That’s just the way we were raised.”
