A man attacked employees with a knife at a Media Markt in Ulm, injuring three people. One employee remains in critical condition. The 29-year-old suspect, an Eritrean asylum seeker, was ordered to leave Germany two years ago but deportation failed due to lack of a passport. He has prior convictions for violent offenses. Eritrea's government reportedly refuses to issue passports for its citizens to facilitate deportations, making return impossible. The motive for the attack remains unclear.
