The assailant has been arrested after a manhunt that lasted several hours

German police apprehended the suspect who stabbed a Spanish tourist at the site of Berlin's iconic Holocaust memorial on Friday.

The attack took place in the German capital's downtown Mitte district, two days before the election in the Bundestag.

According to the news agency RBB, the suspect unexpectedly stabbed a man in the field of concrete steles, which comprise the monument honoring the Jews killed by Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime. The Spanish national has been hospitalized and is in stable condition.

The suspect approached a group of police officers later that day. Police spokesman Florian Nath told reporters that the assailant had blood on his hands when he was detained.

"There is no information about the man's identity as of yet. The weapon has not been recovered," Nath said.
