A German far-right politician has been reportedly injured following a stabbing incident on Tuesday night in Mannheim.
The victim was identified as a candidate for the Alternative for Germany (AFD).
He sustained a knife injury while confronting an assailant who was trying to tear down an electoral poster.
The stabbing in Mannheim is the second in days and took place near the market square where a policeman was fatally stabbed last week.
The Mannheim police upon confirming the incident said they would provide further details as an investigation into the attack commenced.
